50 Tyin

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 The entire Soviet-era ruble stock was withdrawn within four days, a deliberately compressed timeline designed to prevent capital flight and ruble dumping across the border from Russia.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.
