The Kültegin note sits in a commemorative subset of Kazakhstan's paper series, issued to mark the Turkic runic inscription complex at Khöshöö Tsaidam in Mongolia — one of the oldest surviving written records of the Turkic language, dating to around 732 CE. Kültegin was a military commander of the Second Turkic Khaganate, and his monument predates Kazakhstan as a political entity by over a millennium, which makes the choice of subject deliberately cultural rather than strictly national.
Goznak's involvement is unremarkable for this series — Moscow has supplied Kazakhstan's banknote production across much of the post-independence period. The hologram strip is the most technically current security feature on what is otherwise a fairly conventional paper issue for its time.
