Kazakhstan 500 tenge Otag Koteru Making the Yurt silver coin 2010

The 2010 Kazakhstan 500 Tenge "Otau Kóteru – Making the Yurt" silver coin celebrates one of the most meaningful traditions of Kazakh nomadic culture—the ceremonial raising of a yurt, the portable dwelling that symbolized home, family, and hospitality across the Great Steppe. The reverse depicts a mounted horseman lifting the circular shanyrak, the crown of the yurt, with a long pole during the construction process. Beside him stand a saddled camel and traditional lattice wall sections (kerege), while the moon, drifting clouds, and ornamental saddle decorations create a vivid steppe landscape. The obverse features the national coat of arms of Kazakhstan surrounded by elegant traditional Kazakh ornaments, decorative scrollwork, the denomination, and inscriptions identifying the Republic of Kazakhstan. Struck in silver with an impressive Proof finish, this commemorative issue reflects the artistry and rich cultural heritage of Kazakhstan. Combining historical symbolism, exceptional engraving, and traditional nomadic themes, this coin is an outstanding addition to collections focused on ethnography, folklore, and world numismatics.
