| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two freestyle wrestlers in dynamic competition, one athlete executing a throwing technique over his opponent who is bent low in defense, both figures rendered in fine relief against a smooth field. The composition captures the athleticism and physical tension of the sport with precise anatomical detail. The legend 'OLYMPIC GAMES' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin lettering, while the year '2012' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative horizontal lines. The overall design is clean and modern, with the wrestling scene as the dominant central motif. |

| Additional information |
Kazakhstan's freestyle wrestling program has been one of the country's most consistent sources of Olympic medals since independence, and this issue appeared the same year Kazakh wrestlers competed at the Vancouver and Guangzhou games. The National Bank began its Olympic sports commemorative series in the late 1990s, producing individual-sport silver issues in relatively modest mintages aimed largely at the domestic collector market rather than international distribution.
