Cool blue engraving opens into a vertical civic field, anchoring the note within a space of measured geometric stillness.
Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse is arranged vertically, with flying doves crossing the lower field beside the Kazakh Eli monument in Astana, the House of Parliament, the national emblem, and the flag. The composition uses architecture, state symbols, and the SPARK feature to give the 500 tenge denomination a formal public character within Kazakhstan’s modern circulation design.
Reverse
The reverse presents an outline map of Kazakhstan with gulls over the Caspian Sea, set against layered blue ornament and a windowed security thread with demetalized text. The design shifts from civic monument to national geography, placing the country’s territory, coastline, and bird imagery within a broad spatial reading of the state.
Collector’s Insight
For collectors, the 2017 500 tenge issue belongs to Kazakhstan’s modern vertical circulation notes, printed by the national banknote factory after the country had established its own security-printing capacity. It records the shift from post-Soviet currency formation toward a confident domestic production standard and a more secure national iconography.
