Reverse description The reverse presents a blackened silver insert at center reproducing an ancient coin of Otrar, depicting a standing animal figure, likely a horse or bull, rendered in low relief in the style of early medieval Central Asian coinage of the 7th–8th centuries. The surrounding polished silver border bears a bilingual circular legend in Cyrillic and Latin identifying the piece as 'ОТЫРАР МОНЕТАСЫ • COIN OF OTRAR'. At the lower arc, the dating 'c. VII–VIII f.' indicates the approximate period of the original coin, flanked by decorative Kazakh ornamental motifs. Fineness and weight specifications 'Ag 925 31.1 gr.' appear at the lower right of the border, alongside the mint mark.
