Tengrinews.kz - An advertisement for the sale of the Order of "Dostyk" (Friendship), awarded to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher by Kazakhstan, has disappeared from the British online marketplace Peter Harrington.

While several items related to "The Iron Lady," including letters signed by Thatcher, are still listed on the site, the medal, which was previously offered for £12,500 (approximately 7.9 million tenge), is no longer available.

The order was presented to Thatcher in 2001 for her contribution to strengthening relations between Kazakhstan and the UK.

"Jewelled breast star together with the badge of the order on shoulder ribbon, presented on a royal blue velvet pad within the original mid-blue skiver-covered, white satin lined coffret, lettered "Friendship" in Russian in blind on the lead edge of the lid, brass clasps. With the bestowal pamphlet. Lightly rubbed, a few scuffs to the base of the coffret, but overall very good," the description read.

Margaret Thatcher was a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and leader of the Conservative Party. She was the first woman to hold the position of Prime Minister in the country and was known for her tough economic policies aimed at reducing government intervention in the economy, privatizing state-owned enterprises, and strengthening market mechanisms. Thatcher earned the nickname "The Iron Lady" for her unwavering stance on political and international issues. Her tenure saw both economic successes and social conflicts. The politician passed away in April 2013.
