The 500 ₸ silver coin, weighing 24.00 g, is dedicated to the image of the goddess Umay, one of the most important female figures in the ancient Turkic mythological tradition. The design incorporates a motif based on a petroglyph carved on a stone boulder from the Kudyrge burial site in the Altai Mountains. Umay was revered as the patroness of motherhood, children, domestic well-being, and the continuation of the family line, which is why her image holds a special place in the cultural heritage of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia. The reference to this archaeological monument emphasizes the coin’s connection with ancient beliefs, the art of rock carvings, and the historical memory of the region. Struck in .925 silver, the coin conveys an important layer of spiritual culture associated with symbols of protection, life, and family origins.
