Reverse description The reverse presents a richly detailed composition combining naturalistic and stenciled artistic techniques depicting a bear (AIÝ in Kazakh). The central motif showcases the bear rendered with contrasting realistic and graphic stylization, occupying the primary field of the coin. The inscription AIÝ appears prominently at the top of the design. A wide decorative border with ornamental elements frames the entire composition along the coin's perimeter.

Additional information

Kazakhstan's "Aiy" — meaning "moon" in Kazakh — continues the National Bank's long-running series of coins embedding precious or semi-precious stones as literal physical elements of the design. The one-diamond insert is not decorative novelty; the bank has used this technique across multiple collector issues since the 2000s as a deliberate strategy to position Kazakhstani numismatic output in the high-end international collector market.
