The 500 ₸ silver proof coin, weighing 24.00 g, is dedicated to one of the monuments of ancient rock art in Kazakhstan. Its design reproduces a petroglyph depicting a noble deer with large branching antlers. This image was discovered in the valley of the Terekty River, located in the southwestern Balkhash region, and is regarded as one of the vivid testimonies to the culture of the ancient inhabitants of the steppe. The depiction conveys the stylized form characteristic of petroglyphs while also emphasizing the importance of the deer in the beliefs and artistic vision of ancient craftsmen. Struck in .925 silver, the coin continues the theme of preserving historical heritage and introduces unique archaeological finds associated with the territory of modern Kazakhstan.
