The 500 ₸ BUǴY “Deer” coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. The issue continues a series dedicated to the iconic animals and totems of the nomadic peoples. Its artistic concept combines a realistic depiction of a deer with decorative stylization inspired by the Saka animal style. This approach highlights not only the expressiveness of the image, but also its deep symbolic meaning in the traditional culture of the steppe. In the beliefs of the ancient nomads, the deer was regarded as a sacred animal associated with ideas of clan origin, the continuity of generations, and spiritual protection. The image of the totemic deer held an important place in the worldview of the Proto-Turks, where it was perceived as an ancestor and a symbol of the continuation of life.
