The animals and consequently the coins dedicated to them, are a subject that I love. The issuance of a new series of coins under the name "Animals of cult of the nomads in Totem", in which the collection adapts to all pockets and a design, at least that of the first known coin, spectacular, makes that we are facing an interesting opportunity to start a series that, above, promises to revalue with the passage of the years.
Yesterday, November 28, the Bank of Kazakhstan issued the first coin of the series, dedicated to the Blue Wolf, one of the main totemic animals. It is a spiritual ancestor, a spiritual pattern and a deity that presides over the entire universe. In the beliefs of nomadic peoples, the wolf was considered one of the most important symbols associated with heaven.
Four are the coins issued with the same design (100, 200, 500 and 5000 tenge) all but the most affordable, that of 100 tenge, the represented wolf is shown in two colors or metals, according to the facial.
The reverse of the coin shows a stylized image of a wolf divided into two parts, its natural side and its magical side, inside a magic circle where other beings and creatures appear.
The obverse that is also common to all coins, changing only its face value, shows a stylized composition of the national adornment within the central ring, in its interior the face value is shown the year of issue and the mint mark. In the outer ring appears the name of the country, Republic of Kazakhstan, in Russian and English.
The coin of 100 tenge of which 30,000 pieces have been coined, is presented as you can see in the image above, inside a capsule, which guarantees a perfect conservation. Despite its quite limited circulation, I have seen them for sale at prices that are around 10 euros including shipping costs. The next, the 200 tenge, exceeds 50 euros, its metal is also the cupronickel and its finish is Proof.
