| Reverse description | Central design depicts a golden eagle (búrkit) rendered in high relief with wings dramatically spread wide, its talons visible at the base, executed in an intricate style that integrates traditional Kazakh ornamental patterns into the bird's plumage and surrounding field. The background is richly decorated with swirling arabesque and tribal motifs characteristic of Kazakh nomadic art, creating a deeply textured composition. A polished mirror-like oval field is visible behind the eagle's head at the upper centre, providing a stark contrast to the frosted relief surfaces. The legend 'BÚRKIT' is inscribed in stylised Latin lettering along the upper border within the decorative rim. |

| Additional information |
The Burkit series celebrates Kazakh golden eagle hunting, a tradition inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2010. Kazakhstan nominated the practice jointly with Kyrgyzstan after years of quiet diplomatic coordination — a rare instance of two post-Soviet republics collaborating on a cultural claim rather than contesting one.
