| Obverse description | Central field features the coat of arms of Kazakhstan — a circular emblem depicting a shanyrak (the crown of a yurt) over a rising sun, flanked by mythical winged horses (tulpars), with the legend ҚАЗАҚСТАН beneath. Below the arms, the silver fineness and weight are inscribed: Ag 925 / 24g. The large denomination numeral 100 occupies the lower central field, followed by the currency name ТЕҢГЕ and the Kazakhstan Mint monogram KMC. A circular legend reading ҚАЗАҚСТАН ҰЛТТЫҚ БАНКІ arcs around the left and right periphery, with the year 2012 prominently displayed at the top, all set within a polished proof field. |

| Additional information |
Kazakhstan's commemorative wildlife series from this period was part of a broader conservation push tied to the country's post-Soviet effort to codify national natural heritage through legislation, including protections for migratory species crossing Central Asian flyways. The white stork is not native to Kazakhstan in a resident sense but passes through in significant numbers during spring and autumn migrations along routes connecting Sub-Saharan Africa to breeding grounds further north and east.
KM#378 was struck at the Kazakhstan Mint in Ust-Kamenogorsk, which had only been producing collector issues independently for roughly a decade by this point.
