| Reverse description | Central design depicts a frontal bust of a majestic stag (deer) rendered in high relief, its large, branching antlers extending to fill the upper field. The right side of the antlers and surrounding decorative elements are finished in selective gold gilding, contrasting dramatically with the antique silver finish of the remainder of the design. The stag's head and antlers are framed by a symmetrical pattern of stylized Kazakh foliate ornamentation in the field, evoking the ancient Scythian animal-style artistic tradition. A small inset diamond is incorporated into the design. The inscription 'BUǴY' (Kazakh for 'deer') appears in the upper portion of the field above the stag's head. |

| Additional information |
Kazakhstan's large-format collector issues of this type are struck at the Kazakhmint facility in Nur-Sultan, which the National Bank has developed aggressively since the early 2000s as part of a broader push toward domestic precious-metal production capacity. The 777.5g specification is not accidental — it corresponds to 25 troy ounces, a deliberate commercial framing for the collector and investment market.
The embedded 2mm diamond is set during finishing rather than striking, a post-press operation that creates consistent quality-control challenges at this diameter.
