The AQQY coin from the “Cult Animals — Totems of the Nomads” series is dedicated to the image of the swan, which held a special place in the worldview of the Proto-Turks. This bird was regarded as one of the most ancient and revered totems, associated with ideas of purity, harmony, and spiritual origin. In traditional symbolism, the swan represented the female deity Umay, venerated as Mother Earth and the ancestress of humankind. Through this image, the ideas of protecting the clan, the continuation of life, and the bond between humans and nature were conveyed. The 100 tenge coin is made of cupronickel and weighs 11.17 g. This issue reflects interest in the ancient beliefs of nomadic peoples and emphasizes the importance of sacred animals in the cultural memory of Kazakhstan.
