Interesting fact
The Panthera Tigris f15 coin from Laos features an image of a tiger on its obverse side, which is a rare and endangered species in Laos. In fact, the Indochinese tiger, also known as the Corbett's tiger, is considered functionally extinct in the wild in Laos due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-tiger conflict. Therefore, the coin serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
