The coin is part of the NBK’s Outstanding Events and People series. Information about the official start of sales will be published later on the regulator’s official website.
According to the NBK, the release aims to preserve historical memory and promote the cultural heritage of the Great Steppe civilization, whose legacy remains closely tied to the formation of statehood and cultural identity across Eurasia, including modern Kazakhstan.
Honoring the legacy of the Golden Horde
The Golden Horde played a major role in shaping political, economic and cultural processes across Eurasia. It helped maintain trade links between East and West, supported commerce along the Silk Road and contributed to the development of a multinational and multi-confessional space.
The NBK noted that the period was marked by the growth of urban culture, crafts, monetary systems and diplomatic relations.
“The historical heritage of the Golden Horde occupies an important place in the continuity of the thousand-year civilization of the Great Steppe,” the statement said.
