| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, naturalistic depiction of a Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) standing among reeds and aquatic vegetation at the water's edge, rendered in high-relief engraving. The bird is shown in full profile facing left, with characteristic curly nape feathers and elongated bill clearly delineated. The bilingual legend 'БҰЙРА БІРҚАЗАН · PELECANUS CRISPUS' curves around the upper periphery, with the Kazakh name at upper left in Cyrillic and the Latin scientific name continuing along the right. The date '2010' appears at the bottom of the coin between two raised dots. The mirror-like proof fields provide a striking contrast to the intricately frosted relief of the bird and botanical elements. |
