Obverse description	At centre, an intaglio portrait of the Kazakh poet and enlightener Abay Ibrahim Qunanbayuly (1845–1904) is set against a fine guilloche underprint in muted tones, with his name and life dates inscribed below the vignette. The issuer name in Kazakh Cyrillic appears along the upper and lower borders, while the denomination numeral and year of issue flank the portrait field. Traditional Kazakh national ornamentation frames the overall composition.
