Below the arms, a stylized panoramic scene of rock faces bears ancient petroglyphs characteristic of the Saimaalu-Tash site, including human figures, animals, and geometric motifs carved in low relief. The circular legend runs along the left and right periphery of the coin in Cyrillic script. The date 2013 appears in the lower exergue. |

Saimaalu-Tash — literally "embroidered stones" in Kyrgyz — is one of the largest concentrations of petroglyphs in Central Asia, with an estimated 90,000 images carved into volcanic rock at elevations above 3,000 meters in the Fergana Range. The site spans multiple epochs from the Bronze Age through the early medieval period. Kyrgyzstan has issued several collector coins tied to its pre-Islamic archaeological heritage, partly as a deliberate national identity project following independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
