| Additional information |
The Kokbori — Kazakh for "blue wolf" — occupies a singular place in the national mythology of Kazakhstan, regarded as the ancestral totem of the Turkic peoples and a founding symbol in the Oghuz Kagan epic tradition. This coin belongs to Kazakhstan's long-running series of oversized collector issues produced at the Kazakhstan Mint, which has leaned heavily on indigenous cultural iconography since the early 2000s as a deliberate counterpoint to Soviet-era numismatic aesthetics.
At 777.5 grams of .925 silver, these pieces require a specialized pressing process; the integrated 2 mm diamond and selective gilding are applied post-strike rather than during the minting operation itself.
