| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a burkit (golden eagle) with wings fully spread in a frontal landing pose, rendered in finely detailed high relief against a polished mirror field. The right wing and portions of the body are highlighted with selective gold plating applied in stylized Kazakh ornamental patterns, contrasting dramatically with the satin-finish silver-toned left wing and breast feathers. The eagle's talons are extended downward, conveying power and motion. The border is decorated with traditional Kazakh scrollwork and geometric ornament in relief, and the inscription 'BÚRKIT' appears along the upper rim in stylized runic-influenced Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
The Burkit — golden eagle — occupies a singular place in Kazakh nomadic culture, where the tradition of berkutchi (eagle hunting) has been practiced across the steppe for at least four millennia. UNESCO added it to the Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2010, a recognition Kazakhstan actively pursued as part of broader efforts to codify and elevate pre-Soviet pastoral traditions that were systematically suppressed during the Soviet period.
