The story

Background & history

The tyin was the first currency of independent Kazakhstan, introduced on November 15, 1993 to replace the Soviet ruble at par. This 1 tyin note is from the inaugural issue of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a sovereign state. The tyin circulated only briefly, as hyperinflation necessitated its replacement by the tenge on November 15, 1995 at a rate of 1 tenge = 500 tyin. These low-denomination notes saw heavy use during the transitional economic period and are now demonetized. The design incorporates traditional Kazakh ornamental patterns reflecting the nation's cultural heritage.
