Previous issues of the Wild Mongolia Series have featured animals from the steppes of Mongolia or other regions of Central Asia. Animals captured in the series so far include the eagle, wolf, argali, and falcon. The addition of the leopard also comes with new options that include this black proof, as well as the popular copper option.
Snow leopards evolved to live in the harsh, cold environments of Central and South Asia’s high mountains. They are believed to have diverged from their common ancestor with tigers about 3.9 million years ago. Despite their name and appearance, genetic studies show that snow leopards are more closely related to tigers than to leopards. They are the only species in their genus that lacks the ability to roar, due to the structure of their hyoid bone and vocal folds.
On the obverse of the 2024 2 oz Black Proof Silver Snow Leopard, you will find the seal of the Central Bank of Mongolia. The design field includes the large paws and powerful claws of the leopard gripping wood in a vertical design. The seal of the Central Bank is found on the right side of the coin’s field.
The reverse side of 2024 Black Proof Mongolia Silver Snow Leopards comes with a depiction of two snow leopards. On the left side of the field, the stoic leopard is shown gazing into the distance and dominates the field of the coin. The right side features the stylized image of a leopard with its rosettes forming its figure.
These 2024 2 oz Black Proof Mongolia Silver Snow Leopard Coins are available with presentation cases. Each coin is a black proof, delivering darker details with frosted designs and mirrored fields. The coins also have an ultra-high-relief strike that creates greater visual depth.
