The collectible coin UKI continues the “Cult Animals – Totems of Nomads” series and is dedicated to the eagle-owl, which in the beliefs of ancient nomadic peoples was associated with wisdom, freedom, and protection from dark forces. The coin was minted in Kazakhstan from .925 silver, has a face value of 5000 tenge, and weighs 777.50 g. The composition is built around the head of the eagle-owl, with one part rendered in a naturalistic manner and the other referring to the traditions of the Saka animal style. This artistic solution emphasizes the connection between a modern interpretation and ancient cultural origins. The image of the eagle-owl also holds an important place in Turkic tradition: it was revered as a sacred bird and believed to have the power to protect people, especially at night. Eagle-owl feathers were traditionally used as amulets and protective symbols.
