The 500 ₸ silver coin of Kazakhstan was issued as part of the Eastern Calendar series and is dedicated to the Year of the Rat. The coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. This issue continues the tradition of drawing on the imagery of the Eastern calendar, which in numismatics is given artistic and symbolic expression. In the calendar cycle, the Rat is regarded as a sign of alertness, agility, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances, which gives the coin not only collectible appeal but also cultural significance. Such issues attract interest from collectors of Kazakh numismatics as well as from those who follow thematic series connected with the calendar symbolism of the East.
