<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 4896200, member: 22377&quot;]I present another new coin from Kazakhstan that recently arrived. This is the Tobol Thinker. It&#039;s a bimetallic coin (combining silver and tantalum).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1181504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1181505[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The sculpture featured on the coin was found in 1976 along the river Tobol near Kostanay. It is believed to date back to ancient times and resembles a man thinking (hence the name &quot;Tobol Thinker&quot;). One source compared it to the statues on Easter Island, but there is no definite connection.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://masterpieces.asemus.museum/masterpiece/detail.nhn?objectId=14409" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://masterpieces.asemus.museum/masterpiece/detail.nhn?objectId=14409" rel="nofollow">http://masterpieces.asemus.museum/masterpiece/detail.nhn?objectId=14409</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Date of issue: 12.27.2019</p><p>Face value: 500 Tenge</p><p>Diameter: 38.61 mm</p><p>Quality: Proof</p><p>Mintage: 1,000</p><p>Series: Treasures of the steppe</p><p>Obv: State emblem is framed by an ornamental rosette</p><p>Rev: The Thinker is in the center and is surrounded by equations and numbers (a collection of zeros and ones).</p><p>Meaning (according to several websites): representation of the genius of human thought, striving to uncover the secrets of the origin of life and the mysteries of the universe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
