Kazakh banknote

From Conway Bulletin:

A Kazakh banknote wins an international design award, again
In terms of banknote sophistication -- artwork and
anti-forgery security -- Kazakhstan is world class.
The International Bank Note Society named Kazakhstan’s
5,000 tenge note, worth around $33, as the best new issue
of 2012 (May 17).
This is the second consecutive year that Kazakhstan has
won the award after its new 10,000 tenge note won in 2012.
With the help of the British banknote printer De La Rue,
the Kazakh Central Bank designed and launched the new 5,000
tenge banknote on New Year’s Eve 2011/12.
The judges praised its bright orange colour as well as
the banknote’s designs, including an outline of the country,
the iconic Soviet-built Hotel Kazakhstan in Almaty and
Independence Statue in the centre of the city.
The note also contains various anti-forgery watermarks
and other devices that improve its security.
Unusually for banknotes, the 5,000 tenge note, which beat
Canada’s 50 dollar bill and the Jersey 100 pound bill for
the award, does not carry the image of a famous national
person.
If banknote art and sophistication is a sign of a
confident, growing economy that is increasingly proud of its
currency and aware of its national symbols, then Kazakhstan
is definitely moving in the right direction.
