2006 Kazakhstan 500 Tenge (Space Coin)

Here is a beauty which I picked up a year or so ago on Ebay.  The coin is comprised of Silver and Tantalum.

Take Care

Wow Ben that is nice! Not sure which is obverse/reverse, but I really like the design on the right.

Fascinating coin, particularly that it's composed partially of tantalum--center perhaps?
Interesting stuff, tantalum--about 60% denser than silver and rather hard to work--it would break "business strike" dies in short order.

Beautiful looking coins, thanks for sharing.

I have an investment in a Tantalite mine, near a town called Widgiemooltha, in outback Western Australia.
So I want you all to buy more of these and create a bigger demand for Tantalum. LOL

Latman, I believe the obverse is the first picture with 500 Tenge.

Take Care All
Ben
