The flamingo has the nestling area on the North-Eastern sea-coast of the Caspian Sea and in the South of Turga Plateau. Though the number of Hamingo today is relatively high but there is a trend of reducing it.

Coins weight varies 5.85-6.10 g. There is no now reliable information about the coin's standard weight.
