| Additional information |
Kazakhstan's National Bank has issued a long-running series of wildlife-themed collector coins, and the swan pieces have appeared across multiple years with incremental production refinements. The combination of selective gilding and an embedded diamond on a one-ounce .925 silver flan is a production technique the Kazakhstani mint has refined considerably since the early 2000s, when similar multi-element coins occasionally suffered adhesion failures in the gilded zones.
KM#537 is the 2021 iteration. Mintage figures for this series have historically been capped in the low thousands.
