AQ TUNGIYQ is a 500 ₸ commemorative coin of Kazakhstan struck in cupronickel, with a weight of 15.00 g. It is dedicated to the white water lily, a rare aquatic plant found in the country and listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan. The issue continues a series devoted to the plant world and draws attention to the need for careful protection of vulnerable flora species. A special feature of this coin is its artistic design: for the first time, transparent enamel filling technology was used in its creation, producing a striking water-surface effect. The composition is enhanced by the depiction of a sandy bottom and stones, making the image of the flower more natural and emphasizing its native environment. The coin is of interest as an example of a modern approach to the design of Kazakhstan’s commemorative issues.
