| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a lively, highly detailed sculptural rendering of the four Town Musicians of Bremen from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale: a donkey, dog, cat, and rooster stacked upon one another in their famous formation, rendered in a dynamic and expressive style with animated facial features. The circular legend 'БРЕМЕН МУЗЫКАНТТАРЫ' appears along the left arc in Kazakh, and 'DIE BREMER STADTMUSIKANTEN' along the right arc in German. The year of issue '2017' is inscribed in the lower exergue beneath the central composition. |

| Additional information |
The Town Musicians of Bremen entered the Brothers Grimm canon in 1819, though the tale itself draws on much older pan-European folk traditions about animals outwitting humans. Kazakhstan's commemorative program has long issued coins pairing international cultural themes with domestic circulation-weight formats — this nickel brass piece belongs to that broader series rather than any bilateral cultural agreement with Germany.
