The 200-tenge cupronickel coin, weighing 15.00 g, is dedicated to the swan, one of the most significant images in the worldview of the ancient nomadic peoples. In the beliefs of the Proto-Turks, this bird was associated with purity, harmony, and the spiritual principle, and was also regarded as an ancient totem with special sacred meaning. The swan symbolized the female deity Umay, revered as Mother Earth and as the protector of life, motherhood, and the continuation of the family line. This image held an important place in traditional culture, reflecting ideas about the origin of humankind, the connection between people and nature, and the veneration of ancestral roots. The release of the coin highlights interest in the mythological heritage of the steppe and in symbols that have retained their significance in the historical memory of the people.
