The 500 ₸ silver coin, weighing 29.50 g, is dedicated to the famous stone anthropomorphic sculpture known as the Tobol Thinker, which is preserved in the collection of the National Museum of Kazakhstan. This archaeological monument belongs to the group of seated anthropomorphic statues of the forest-steppe region of Asia and is of considerable importance for the study of the ancient cultures of Eurasia. The sculpture was discovered in 1976 near Kostanay and dates to the late 3rd to early 2nd century BC. The image chosen for the coin emphasizes the connection of modern Kazakhstan with its deep historical heritage and reflects the value of rare finds that help us better understand the spiritual world and artistic traditions of the ancient population of the steppe region.
