The 500 ₸ silver coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. It is dedicated to the Regel tulip, a rare species regarded as one of the notable representatives of Kazakhstan’s flora. The design features holographic elements that add extra expressiveness to the image and highlight the plant’s decorative characteristics.
The Regel tulip grows only in the Chu-Ili Mountains, in the western part of Almaty Region and the eastern part of Zhambyl Region. Its natural habitat is rocky and stony slopes, where the plant has adapted to harsh natural conditions. This issue reflects attention to preserving the country’s unique plant life and introduces a rare endemic species of scientific and conservation value.
