| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, highly detailed depiction of the Balkhash perch (Perca schrenkii), an endemic freshwater species of Lake Balkhash. The fish is rendered in high relief with its head facing the viewer in a dramatic frontal perspective, occupying the central field. The dorsal fins and scales along the body are highlighted with selective colorization in hues of violet, green, and gold, adding a naturalistic quality to the design. The Kazakh name of the species arcs along the upper left field, while the scientific Latin binomial is inscribed in italic lettering along the lower left. |

| Additional information |
Balqah Alabugasy — the Bulgar fortress — was a medieval trading settlement on the Volga that served as the northernmost major city of the Golden Horde, and later a subject of Kazan Khanate administration before Russian conquest in the 16th century. Kazakhstan's ongoing commemorative coinage program has systematically revisited sites across the former steppe empires, part of a broader state initiative formalizing a national historical narrative that traces Kazakh cultural roots through the Turkic and Mongol successor states.
