| Additional information |
The bata is a Kazakh ceremonial blessing — a formal spoken benediction delivered by an elder at weddings, births, and significant community gatherings. Issuing it as a coin subject reflects a broader push by the National Bank of Kazakhstan through the 2010s to document intangible cultural heritage on bullion and commemorative issues, alongside better-known nomadic traditions.
