| Reverse description | The oval reverse presents a finely detailed, high-relief proof depiction of an adult Caspian seal (Phoca caspica) resting on an ice floe, its head raised alertly and facing the viewer. A pup is visible beside it in the lower right of the composition. In the background, a golden-colored sun — rendered with selective gold gilding — rises above a distant rocky shoreline with layered ice formations, evoking the seal's natural Caspian habitat. The Latin binomial legend 'PHOCA CASPICA' and its Kazakh equivalent 'КАСПИЙ ИТБАЛЫҒЫ' arc along the upper periphery of the field, separated by a central dot. The date '2013' is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
