The 500 ₸ silver coin, weighing 24.00 g, is dedicated to one of the monuments of Kazakhstan’s rock art. Its design is based on the image of a mounted rider recorded in the petroglyphs of Mount Ayrakty in Mangyshlak. The composition conveys the characteristic features of the Late Nomadic artistic tradition associated with the Adai cultural milieu. Particular attention is drawn to the depiction of the horse: its mane is shown as a series of separate dots, accurately reproducing the distinctive manner of the ancient image. Made of 0.925 silver, the coin reflects an interest in the historical heritage of the steppe and emphasizes the importance of petroglyphs as a valuable source of information about the worldview, daily life, and artistic techniques of nomadic societies.
