| Reverse description | The reverse displays a gilt representation of the Tamgaly sun deity petroglyph — a stylized anthropomorphic solar figure rendered in the manner of the ancient Bronze Age rock carvings — accompanied by a flowering plant emerging through a fissure in the stone surface. The design faithfully replicates the iconography of the Tamgaly UNESCO World Heritage site petroglyphs in high relief. Bilateral inscriptions in Kazakh (Cyrillic) and Latin script encircle the central motif, naming the site in both languages. |
