Reverse description A highly detailed frontal portrait of a Brandt's hedgehog fills the entire reverse field, depicted in a naturalistic engraving style with finely incised quills radiating outward from the animal's face to the coin's edge. The hedgehog's smooth facial features — rounded ears, small dark eyes, and a prominent nose — are rendered in soft relief at centre, surrounded by densely textured spine work and scattered foliage or nesting material in the lower field. The Kazakh name of the species, 'ҚАРА КІРПІ', arcs along the upper border in Cyrillic script, while the Latin binomial 'HEMIECHINUS HYPOMELAS' curves around the lower periphery, together identifying the species depicted.
