Posted belows are notes released since 2015 or 2016. These notes were issued without the signature of the Chairman of the National Bank of Kazakhstan. Between 2015 and 2019, Daniyar Akishev was the Chairman of the country's central bank. He has since been replaced by Erbolat Dossaev. I believe the current Chairman is Galymzhan Pirmatov.
It is not sure why these notes were printed without a signature on it. The main designs on all these notes are the same as those previously released except the missing signature. Whilst I mentioned that the notes were released from 2015, the notes here are printed with the year dates from 2011 to 2022. The 20000 tenge hybrid note looks more like a commemorative note, even if it is not. I believe that the notes that I have posted here is a complete set for the current series with no signature, albeit different years issued.
As the designs on the front of the current series illustrate man made landmarks situated in the capital city of Kazakhstan, you may find the capital city's name is sometimes referred to as Nur-Sultan or Astana. Just not to confuse myself, belows are the name changed for the capital city of Kazakhstan since settlement was first established; -
1830 - Akmola, settlement founded;
1832 - Akmolinsk, township status granted;
1961 - Tselinograd, renamed by the Russian meaning Virgin lands city
1991 - Akmola, following independence of Kazakhstan;
1997 - Almalty;
1998 - Astana, meaning capital city;
2019 - Nur-Sultan, in honoring previous President, Nursultan Nazarbayev;
2022 - Astana, reverted back to as it was first named in 1998.
According to the Guinness World Record, the capital of Kazakhstan holds the most name changes since it was founded.
