| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized map of Kazakhstan rendered in relief against a textured background, occupying the majority of the dodecagonal flan. The denomination '500 TENGE' appears in the upper right segment of the border, set within the coin's twelve-sided frame. A bilingual outer legend encircles the design, reading 'REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN' in Latin script and 'ҚАЗАҚСТАН РЕСПУБЛИКАСЫ' in Kazakh Cyrillic, with the fineness and weight notation 'Au 999 21,87g' inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Kazakhstan's lunar series follows the Chinese zodiac calendar adopted widely across Central Asian commemorative programs after the 1990s, with the Mouse year issues typically seeing modest mintages aimed at regional collectors and the export gift market. The 2020 release coincided with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted distribution channels and left portions of many Central Asian commemorative runs sitting in mint inventories well past their intended sale windows.
