Comment

Date of issue: 07 DEC 2000

The snow leopard (Uncia uncia Schreber) inhabits the Primorsky Territory in the Far East. His body and tail reach 130 cm and 105 cm in length accordingly. The snow leopard is under the threat of disappearance owing to the food reducing and to catching him for zoos (it also breeds in the need). The snow leopard is entered into the Red Data Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Interesting fact

The Snow Leopard coin has a unique feature - it has a mirror-like finish on the reverse side, which creates a stunning visual effect.
