Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Golden Irbis coin is that it was designed by the famous Kazakhstan sculptor, Aidyn Zhumabayev. The coin's design features a stylized image of an irbis, a rare and endangered snow leopard species native to the region, with the coin's denomination and year of issue inscribed in both Kazakh and English. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and animal enthusiasts.
