The commemorative coin of Kazakhstan, “Year of the Snake,” continues the “Oriental Calendar” series dedicated to the twelve symbols of the traditional calendar cycle. The 2012 issue depicts the Snake as one of the significant signs, which in Eastern culture is associated with wisdom, attentiveness, and inner strength. The coin’s design uses artistic motifs characteristic of the series, combining national elements with the theme of the calendar animals. The coin is struck in .925 silver, has a weight of 31.10 g, and a face value of 500 ₸. Such issues are of interest both to collectors of Kazakh commemorative coins and to those interested in numismatic series devoted to the Oriental calendar.
