The 500 ₸ silver proof coin, weighing 24.00 g, is dedicated to the petroglyphs of the Arpauzen tract, one of the well-known archaeological sites in the Turkestan Region of Kazakhstan. The design is based on a scene from an ancient rock carving dated to the Bronze Age, specifically the second half of the 2nd century BC. The stone panel depicts a scene involving people and camels, with the central focus placed on a large figure of a two-humped Bactrian camel. This image reflects the economic and cultural life of the ancient inhabitants of the steppe, as well as the importance of caravan animals in the early societies of the region. Struck in .925 silver, the coin conveys the historical value of the monument and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of Kazakhstan’s ancient art.
