Title: 2006 Kazakhstan 500 Tenge (Space Coin) Post by: Bonedigger on November 03, 2008, 01:44:17 AM Here is a beauty which I picked up a year or so ago on Ebay. The coin is comprised of Silver and Tantalum.

Interesting stuff, tantalum--about 60% denser than silver and rather hard to work--it would break "business strike" dies in short order. Title: Re: 2006 Kazakhstan 500 Tenge (Space Coin) Post by: Nighthawk on November 03, 2008, 04:53:27 AM Very nice coin Ben. 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.

Not sure which is obverse/reverse, but I really like the design on the right. Latman, I believe the obverse is the first picture with 500 Tenge.
