It's called a Frilled Toad-headed Agama (Phrynocephalus mystaceus)
I found it on a Kazakhstan stamp web site

Stolen from here: http://www.anapsid.org/toadhead.html

Phrynocephalus mystaceus. Bearded Toad-Head. Central Asia, northern Iran, Afghanistan. Steppes and deserts. Spines at corners of mouth that can be erected when threatened, enlarging the appearance of the mouth to almost 3 x its usual size. Toes distinctly fringed. Does relatively well in captivity (only compared with how poorly most of them do...) To 10" (25 cm).

As for avalibility...
