500 Tenge 5 Years of EAEU

The Eurasian Economic Union formally came into force on January 1, 2015, binding Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan into a customs and economic bloc modeled loosely on European Union structures. Kazakhstan under Nursultan Nazarbayev had been the most vocal advocate for deeper Eurasian integration for over two decades — Nazarbayev first proposed the concept in a 1994 speech at Moscow State University, long before the political conditions existed to make it real.

This one-troy-ounce .9999 fine gold issue marks the fifth anniversary of that treaty entering into force.
