The TÚIE coin, dedicated to the camel, continues the “Cult Animals – Totems of Nomads” series. Its artistic design combines two approaches: a realistic depiction of the animal and a stylized image inspired by Saka art. This combination highlights the connection between modern numismatics and the ancient cultural traditions of the steppe, while also revealing the symbolic meaning of the image.

For nomadic peoples, the camel was not merely a domesticated animal, but an essential part of their way of life. It symbolized endurance, strength, independence, and inner dignity, helping people travel great distances and withstand harsh natural conditions. Struck in 925 silver, with a weight of 31.10 g and a face value of 500 ₸, the coin conveys respect for this important symbol associated with the history, worldview, and heritage of Kazakhstan’s nomadic culture.
