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.

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.
