Additional information

Issued the same year Kazakhstan marked the fifteenth anniversary of independence, this piece belongs to a broader commemorative program through which the National Bank documented major architectural and cultural landmarks. The Central Mosque in Almaty, completed in 1999, was built partly with funding from Saudi Arabia — a detail that reflects the deliberate reconstruction of Islamic public life in Kazakhstan following seven decades of Soviet secularization.
