Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse features a central circular insert with a gilded relief depiction of a Satyr mask — a grotesque bearded face with wide-set eyes and an open mouth — richly detailed in the Scythian ornamental tradition and embellished with inset polychrome gemstones including red, green, and orange stones set around the face and along the border of the gilt insert. The surrounding annular field is finished in matte silver, while the outer dodecagonal border carries the bilingual legend in Cyrillic and Latin script. The inscriptions 'КӨШПЕНДІЛЕР АЛТЫНЫ' and 'THE GOLD OF NOMADS' flank the date '2009', with 'САТЫР' and 'SATIR' appearing at the lower portion of the border.

Aanvullende informatie

Kazakhstan's silver collectible program of the late 2000s drew heavily on archaeological finds from the steppe burial mounds — the kurgans — that dot the country's terrain. The satyr mask motif connects directly to Hellenistic-influenced Saka goldwork recovered from sites like Issyk, where the famous "Golden Man" was unearthed in 1969. Greek artistic conventions penetrated deep into Central Asia via Bactrian trade networks, and the irony of a satyr — a figure from the Dionysian tradition — turning up in Kazakh numismatic iconography is a direct consequence of Alexander's eastern campaigns.
