| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-color reproduction of the painting 'Bakyt' (Happiness) by Kazakhstani artist S. Aytbayev, applied using color printing technology within a beaded border frame. The composition depicts a Kazakh man and woman seated together in a steppe landscape, the man dressed in a teal shirt and the woman in traditional light-colored dress, rendered in a bold, expressionist style with warm ochre and orange tones. In the background, horses roam freely across sandy dunes beneath a pale blue sky, evoking themes of nomadic life and contentment. The overall artistic treatment is characteristic of Soviet-era Kazakhstani figurative painting, with strong outlines and vivid color contrasts. The beaded rim provides a clean silver border separating the colorized artwork from the square coin's edge. |
