The 100 ₸ silver coin is dedicated to the caracal, a rare predator inhabiting the steppe and semi-desert regions of Kazakhstan. This animal is characterized by a slender body, short sandy-red fur, and long black ear tufts, which make the caracal easily recognizable. The issue continues a series highlighting representatives of the country’s fauna and draws attention to the preservation of biodiversity. The coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. The image of the caracal on the coin emphasizes its agility, strength, and adaptation to life in harsh natural conditions, and the issue is of interest both to collectors and to those interested in the wildlife of Kazakhstan.
