The 500 ₸ silver coin was issued by the National Bank of Kazakhstan as part of the Oriental Calendar series and is dedicated to the Year of the Ox. This program is known for its use of imagery from the Eastern zodiac cycle, which has acquired a distinctive artistic interpretation in Kazakh numismatics. The coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g.

The Ox is traditionally associated with stability, diligence, and inner strength, so such issues are often regarded not only as collectible pieces but also as memorable gifts with symbolic meaning.
