Green and yellow ornament settles into a fragile geometric field, establishing a compact, restrained aesthetic for the fractional note.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse is built around the one tiyn denomination in Kazakh text, set beside an ornate circular medallion and dense geometric background engraving. With no portrait and no signature, the design relies on pattern, script, and denomination structure to give Kazakhstan’s smallest new unit a formal place within the first tenge currency system.

Reverse

The reverse presents the national coat of arms within a patterned field, with the one tiyn value repeated beside decorative Kazakh text. The composition shifts from denomination to state emblem, giving this minor note the language of sovereignty during Kazakhstan’s first independent currency issue.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, the 1993 1 tiyn issue belongs to Kazakhstan’s first national currency series, released after the country moved from the Russian ruble to the tenge at a rate of 500 rubles to one tenge. The lower-left serial number and snowflake watermark variety make it a precise physical record of Kazakhstan’s earliest monetary separation from the post-Soviet ruble system.
