500 Tenge

The 2006 series of Kazakhstani tenge was issued as the country's oil revenues were accelerating sharply, and the National Bank was actively reforming the currency infrastructure to match a modernizing economy. P#29A slots into a transitional period for the series — the denomination structure and security specifications were being quietly upgraded across multiple values without a formal reissue announcement, which is why the suffix designations on these notes can be difficult to reconcile across different catalog editions.

Security thread and watermark only — no holographic elements — places this firmly in the earlier specification tier before later printings added more complex features.
