The 50 Tenge 20th Anniversary of the Creation of the Tenge 2013, issued by the National Bank of Kazakhstan, commemorates 20 years since the introduction of the Kazakhstani tenge, the national currency that replaced the Soviet ruble in 1993. This milestone marked Kazakhstan’s economic sovereignty and financial independence.
The obverse features the national emblem of Kazakhstan at the center, surrounded by intricate traditional ornamentation. Below, the denomination "50 ТЕНГЕ" is inscribed, with the inscription "ҚАЗАҚСТАН РЕСПУБЛИКАСЫ" (Republic of Kazakhstan) encircling the design in both Kazakh and English.
The reverse showcases a symbolic representation of the tenge, featuring a large numeral "20" integrated into a stylized design. The inscription "ТЕҢГЕ" (Tenge) highlights the currency’s name, while the full text "ҚАЗАҚСТАН ТЕҢГЕСІНЕ 20 ЖЫЛ" (20 Years of the Kazakhstani Tenge) emphasizes the anniversary. The year of issue, 2013, is positioned at the bottom.
Struck in cupronickel, this commemorative coin is an important piece for collectors of Kazakh numismatics, symbolizing the nation’s economic progress and financial independence.
