The ninth largest country in the world by land area, Kazakhstan is also the world's largest landlocked country located primarily in Asia with the smaller part being in Europe. The huge territory of Kazakhstan is extremely diverse ranging from flatlands, steppes, taigas, rock-canyons, hills, deltas, and snow-capped mountains to deserts. Ethnically and culturally diverse, Kazakhstan is home to 131 ethnicities.

The National Bank of Kazakhstan produces dozens of modern commemorative coins annually, some of which have received a number of prestigious awards at international numismatic exhibitions. The collectibles highlighting the country’s flora and fauna as well as its rich cultural and historic heritage are among the most popular ones.
