This silver coin issued by the National Bank of Kazakhstan is dedicated to the snow leopard, a large species of cat that roams the mountain ranges of central and southern Asia. On the obverse, there is the State Emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan framed with the national ornamental pattern. The lower part of the coin comprises the inscription of the coin’s face value. Along the rim of the coin, there is the embossed legend “Republic Of Kazakhstan” both in Kazakh and Russian separated by dots. The reverse design features the image of the snow leopard as well as the inscription of the coin’s mintage year. The snow leopard is a national symbol for Tatars and Kazakhs: a snow leopard is found on the official seal of the city of Almaty, and a winged snow leopard is found on Tatarstan's coat of arms. The upper part of the silver coin contains the legend indicating the name of the animal both in Kazakh and English. To the right of the image, there is the inscription denoting the designation of metal, its fineness and the coin’s pure weight.
