| Additional information |
Kazakhstan declared independence on December 16, 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union — notably one of the last Soviet republics to do so. The National Bank issued this commemorative as part of a broader program marking the quarter-century milestone, a series that drew considerable collector attention in Central Asian numismatic markets. Mintages for NBK silver commemoratives of this period were typically held low, often under 5,000 pieces, which has sustained secondary market premiums relative to face.
