| Additional information |
Issued at the turn of the millennium, this coin is part of Kazakhstan's early numismatic program launched after independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 — a period when the National Bank was actively building a national identity through commemorative coinage. The 500 tenge denomination was the workhorse of Kazakhstan's silver commemorative series throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s.
KM#36 references the Krause catalog attribution for this type, though Kazakh issues from this period are inconsistently documented across major references.
