Kazakhstan 2009 100 tenge Snow Leopard Silver Proof

The National Bank of Kazakhstan has issued this silver coin dedicated to the snow leopard (Uncia uncia), a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia.

On the obverse, there is the State Emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan depicted against the ornamental background. The lower part of the coin comprises the inscription of its face value. Along the rim of the coin, there are the embossed legends “Republic Of Kazakhstan” both in Kazakh and Russian separated by dots.

The reverse side of the silver coin features the image of two snow leopards, the animals known for their beautiful, thick fur. In 1972 the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) placed the snow leopard on its Red List of Threatened Species as globally "Endangered". Along the rim of the coin, there is the inscription "Snow Leopard" both in Kazakh and Latin. Both the Latin genus name Uncia and the occasional English name "ounce" are derived from the Old French once, originally used for the European lynx. To the right of the image, there is the inscription of the coin’s mintage year. The reverse image and the legends are embossed.
