Comment
This release features one of the big 5 cats, the snow leopard, a vulnerable and protected species. They face significant threats due to poaching, habitat loss, retaliatory killings by local communities, and climate change impacting their mountainous habitats.
The "CASH" denomination shown on the coin is representative of the currency units used during British rule in India. While the origin of the word "CASH" has been up for debate, one theory believes it was derived from the Sanskrit word "karsa" and equals a weight of silver equal to 1/400 of a "tola."
