A brief annotation | Commemorative coins were minted to celebrate 20th Anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The idea was based on the time theme – its march. There are clock points on the wide edge. The composition represents the significant buildings of Astana and Almaty joined with a free line symbolizing succession of times and formations. Almaty buildings are made in a masking technique symbolizing the Soviet period. Astana buildings are made in volume. In the center of the coin hands of the clock point to 20:30 – the development programme of the country is designed up to 2030. On the obverse – a gold plated map of Kazakhstan with a jumping panther on the background – the symbol of ancient Turks and the new capital – Astana. |
