Black, blue-gray, and yellow-green ornament settles into a narrow geometric field, giving the fractional note a crisp transitional stillness.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse is built around the twenty tiyn denomination in Kazakh text, placed beside a large circular medallion filled with dense, interwoven linework. With no portrait and no signature, the design relies on script, denomination, and controlled engraving to give the small unit a formal place within Kazakhstan’s first tenge currency system.

Reverse

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

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, the 1993 20 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. With its lower-left serial number and snowflake watermark, it preserves one of the compact fractional forms from the country’s first independent monetary structure.
