| Reverse description | A highly detailed frontal portrait of a Bactrian camel (túie) occupies the central field, depicted from the head and upper neck with both humps visible behind, rendered in bold sculptural relief with fine surface texture conveying the animal's thick fur. The camel's face is shown looking directly forward with a calm, dignified expression. The central motif is framed by an ornate border of traditional Kazakh arabesque and palmette ornamental patterns in low relief, encircling the design. The legend 'TÚIE' arcs prominently along the upper portion of the border in stylized Latin script characters. |

| Additional information |
The tuie is a traditional Kazakh wooden vessel used to serve kumiss — fermented mare's milk — at ceremonies marking births, weddings, and the seasonal movement of herds. Its inclusion in Kazakhstan's ongoing cultural coinage program reflects a broader post-independence effort to document material culture that survived Soviet-era suppression of nomadic identity. The 2023 date places this piece in the program's mature phase, well after the initial commemorative rush of the 1990s and 2000s.
