The gold coin "Red Wolf" with a face value of 500 ₸ was issued by the National Bank of Kazakhstan in 2005 as part of the "Wildlife of Kazakhstan" series. Struck in 9999 gold, the coin weighs 7.78 g. The issue is dedicated to one of the rare predators inhabiting the natural regions of Central Asia. The red wolf is known as a cautious and little-studied animal whose population in the wild is limited, which gives its image not only artistic but also conservation significance. The coin reflects an interest in preserving Kazakhstan’s biological diversity and continues the theme of fauna representatives that hold special value for the nation’s natural heritage.
