The 500 ₸ silver coin, weighing 31.10 g, is dedicated to Khoja Nasreddin, one of the best-known figures in Eastern folklore. He is portrayed as a wise, resourceful, and witty man who uses humor and paradox to reveal human weaknesses and to mock greed, foolishness, and injustice. The image of Nasreddin has long become a symbol of folk wisdom, capable of speaking about complex matters in a simple and accessible way. Struck in .925 silver, the coin draws on the rich tradition of Kazakh folk tales and highlights the importance of oral heritage, in which humor is combined with moral meaning.
