The 500 ₸ silver proof coin, weighing 31.10 g, is dedicated to one of the most striking images of ancient steppe art. Its design is linked to an ornament in the shape of a tiger’s head, an element of the belt decoration from the costume of the famous Golden Man discovered in the Issyk burial mound. This archaeological monument dates to the late 4th to early 3rd century BC and is regarded as important evidence of the high culture of the Saka tribes. The image of the tiger in the decorative art of that period reflected ideas of strength, protection, and status. Struck in .925 silver, the coin expresses the connection between modern numismatics and the heritage of Kazakhstan’s early nomadic civilizations, drawing attention to one of the characteristic motifs of ancient jewelry art.
