| Additional information |
Kazakhstan moved its capital from Almaty to Akmola in December 1997, and this coin was struck the following year to commemorate the transfer — one of the largest planned capital relocations of the post-Soviet period. Akmola was renamed Astana, simply meaning "capital city" in Kazakh, just months before this issue appeared. The relocation was driven largely by President Nursultan Nazarbayev's preference for a more central, strategically defensible location far from the seismically active south.
