Interesting fact

The 2005 Russian 25 Roubles (Leo) gold coin features an image of a leopard, which is not commonly associated with Russian culture or history. In fact, the leopard is not even native to Russia. The coin's designer, Vladimir A. Vasyukhin, chose the leopard as the coin's central image because he wanted to symbolize the idea of "wild freedom" and the "untamed power of nature." Despite its unusual subject matter, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
