| Additional information |
The Star of Dostyk — "dostyk" meaning friendship in Kazakh — is a state decoration established in 1993, two years after independence, as one of the first national orders created by the new republic. This coin belongs to Kazakhstan's ongoing series honoring domestic awards and decorations, a program that has served the dual purpose of numismatic revenue and asserting a distinct national symbolic vocabulary after seven decades of Soviet cultural absorption.
