The 500 ₸ commemorative coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. Its design is based on a motif from ancient weapon-making art: the composition features a decorative element from an old sword with a gilded inlaid image of a Satyr. This figure from ancient Greek mythology is known as a companion and mentor of heroes, as well as an opponent of the Dryads, which gives the subject a vivid mythological character. The artistic concept combines an ancient image with the archaeological heritage of steppe culture, highlighting an interest in rare historical finds and ancient decorative traditions. The coin has collectible value as an example of finely detailed design, in which a mythological subject is conveyed through the details of a weapon.
