| Obverse description | The national emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan occupies the central field, depicting a shanyrak (the crown of a traditional yurt) above crossed arrows, flanked on either side by mythical winged horses (tulpars) and framed by wheat sheaves below. A five-pointed star appears above the emblem. The circular legend • ҚАЗАҚСТАН • РЕСПУБЛИКАСЫ • (Republic of Kazakhstan) runs along the periphery in Cyrillic script, interrupted by decorative dots. |

| Additional information |
Kazakhstan declared independence in December 1991, but the new republic continued using Soviet rubles for nearly two years while its monetary infrastructure was built from scratch. The tyin — subdivisions of the newly introduced tenge — were issued in November 1993 alongside the tenge itself, introduced on November 15th of that year. The entire Soviet-era ruble stock was withdrawn within four days, a deliberately compressed timeline designed to prevent capital flight and ruble dumping across the border from Russia.
The KM#5a reference suggests a recognized die or alloy variant exists within this type.
