Comment

The Urial Ram is found in the lower ranges around K2, the world’s second highest mountain. It has delicate features and large horns. K2, sometimes known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent, reaches a height of 8611m/28,251 feet. When first discovered it had no name and was given a surveyors designation – K for its location in the Karakorum Mountains and a number denoting that it was the second highest in the world

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a goat standing on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a stylized representation of a traditional Tokelauan canoe sail. The design is meant to symbolize the island nation's rich maritime history and its connection to the natural world.
