The obverse is printed in shades of blue and teal on a light ground, with a central vignette of three white doves in flight set against a skyline of modern Astana architecture rendered in fine intaglio linework. To the upper right, a vignette of the Baiterek monument is visible, surmounted by its golden eagle finial, alongside a colour image of the Kazakhstani national flag; the state coat of arms appears as a guilloché underprint medallion at centre. The denomination «БЕС ЖҮЗ ТЕҢГЕ» is set in bold letterpress at mid-left, with the numeral 500 repeated at upper left and lower left within an ornate Kazakh folk-art border. |

The reverse is dominated by a large outline map of Kazakhstan rendered in guilloché patterning with traditional Kazakh ornamental infill, overlaid with a flock of seagulls in flight executed in detailed intaglio across the centre and right. The right half of the design transitions into a naturalistic coastal scene — evoking the Caspian or Aral Sea — with waves and additional birds in varying tonal depths of blue and dark navy. The denomination «ПЯТЬСОТ ТЕНГЕ» appears in bold Cyrillic at lower centre, with the numeral 500 at upper right and lower left, and the date 2017 at upper left. |

Kazakhstan's 500 Tenge has been issued across multiple series since the tenge was introduced in November 1993, when the country broke from the Soviet ruble zone. The 2017 dated examples belong to a revised security series, though the 500 denomination has never been a particularly high-value note in daily Kazakhstani commerce — by 2017 it represented roughly $1.50 USD, a reflection of sustained tenge depreciation following the 2015 managed float that wiped out approximately 35% of the currency's value against the dollar almost overnight.
Pick A45 is sparsely documented in major catalogs, suggesting limited collector attention to this specific date variant.
