Obverse description At center, the State Emblem of the Kyrgyz Republic is depicted in high relief within a beaded inner border, showing the tunduk (yurt crown) surmounted by rays, flanked by wheat ears, and with an eagle displayed below. Surrounding the central emblem in the mirror-polished field are twelve ancient Kyrgyz tamga (tribal symbols or clan marks) arranged evenly around the circumference. The curved Cyrillic legend УЛУУ КЫРГЫЗ КАГАНАТЫ (Great Kyrgyz Khaganate) arcs across the upper portion of the field, and the date 2015 appears at the bottom.

Reverse description A richly detailed and colored composite design commemorating the Great Kyrgyz Khaganate divides the field into contrasting thematic quadrants. On the left half, coniferous trees and stylized vegetation are rendered in the mirror-polished silver field against a dark background, surmounted by a large decorative deer antler motif. On the right half, a vivid blue enamel sky with mountain silhouettes forms the backdrop for dynamic scenes of mounted Kyrgyz warriors on horseback in full gallop, evoking the martial heritage of the Khaganate. A gilded tamga staff runs vertically through the center of the composition, bearing runic-style inscriptions. The denomination 10 СОМ appears prominently in the lower exergue in stylized lettering, flanked by the fineness mark Ag 925° at lower left and the weight 28.28 at lower right.
