Interesting fact
The 1000 Kip coin from Laos featuring the Pygathrix Nemaeus (also known as the Indochinese silvered langur) is a unique and interesting coin due to its design. The coin features an image of the Pygathrix Nemaeus on one side and the national emblem of Laos on the other. This coin is notable because the Pygathrix Nemaeus is a critically endangered species, with only around 200 individuals remaining in the wild. The coin serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats.
