| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed naturalistic scene featuring two praying mantises of the species Hierodula tenuidentata. The larger specimen is depicted in the foreground in a classic resting pose with forelegs raised, while a second individual is shown in the upper right with wings partially spread, suggesting flight or display. Fine engraving renders the insects' anatomical features with scientific precision against a lightly textured ground with stylized grass. The Latin binomial 'HIERODULA TENUIDENTATA' arcs along the upper rim, and the Kazakh inscription 'ДӘУІТ' appears along the lower rim within a recessed panel. |
