The 500 ₸ silver coin, weighing 24.00 g, features the image of a solar deity known from the petroglyphs of the Tamgaly tract in Kazakhstan. The composition is based on one of the most recognizable ancient images from this archaeological complex, dating to the Bronze Age, specifically the second half of the 2nd century BC. The depiction conveys the characteristic features of a sacred figure associated with solar symbolism and the worldview of the ancient tribes. Struck in .925 silver, the coin refers to monuments of rock art that are of great importance for the study of the spiritual culture and religious beliefs of the population of the steppe region. Its artistic design emphasizes the historical value of the Tamgaly petroglyphs and their place in the cultural heritage of Kazakhstan.
