The 5000 tenge “UKI” coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 777.50 g. It is dedicated to the image of the eagle-owl, which held a special place in the beliefs of the nomads as a sacred bird and a revered totem. This image was associated with wisdom, insight, and the ability to see what is hidden. The eagle-owl was believed to protect people from evil spirits, guard them against malevolent forces, and serve as a guide to sacred knowledge. In the traditional culture of the steppe, such symbols had not only mythological but also spiritual significance, reflecting the connection between human beings, nature, and the world of their ancestors. The coin conveys respect for the ancient beliefs and cultural heritage of the nomads of Kazakhstan.
