Depicts the national emblem of Kazakhstan, the issue year below, surrounded by the inscription in English, the fineness, the denomination, and the weight.

The emblem of Kazakhstan, adopted on June 4, 1992, features a shanyrak (the upper dome of a yurt) against a sky blue background with sun ray-like uyks (supports) and wings of mythical horses inspired by Tulpar. The circular emblem symbolizes life and eternity, while the shanyrak represents family well-being, peace, and calmness. The country's name in Kazakh appears at the bottom.

A traditional yurt is a portable, round tent used by Central Asian nomads, made of a wooden or bamboo lattice framework, door frame, ribs, and a wheel-shaped crown. The roof is often self-supporting, with larger yurts having interior posts.

Tulpar, a winged horse in Turkic mythology, appears in the state emblems of Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Bashkortostan.
