TUIE, dedicated to the camel, continues the "CULTURAL ANIMALS - TOTEMS OF NOMADS" series issued by Kazakhstan and reveals an image of great importance to steppe culture. The design combines two artistic approaches: a realistic depiction of the animal and a stylized representation inspired by Saka art. This highlights the link between modern numismatics and the ancient traditions and symbolism of the nomadic world. For nomads, the camel was not merely a companion on the journey, but also a symbol of dignity, independence, strength, and endurance. The coin conveys respect for this image and recalls the significance of animal totems in the worldview of the peoples of the Great Steppe. The piece is made of .925 silver, has a face value of 5,000 tenge, and weighs 777.50 g.
