Christmas Sale 1 oz 2016 Endangered Species Snow Leopard Silver Proof Coin

The snow leopard leaps upon its prey and its reflection appears in the churning water below on this sixth release in the endangered species silver coin collection.

The snow leopard is capable of killing prey three times its weight and survives in harsh Asian mountain terrain. While the snow leopard is an apex predator, the reduction of its habitat and poaching mean that there may be fewer than 7000 remaining in the wild. Those that remain live mostly in 12 countries including China, Nepal, Russia and Mongolia.

With a limited mintage of 2,000, this is a wonderful addition to any wildlife-themed collection and a meaningful gift for anyone passionate about endangered wildlife.

This coin comes packaged in a rustic wooden crate, with a printed brown box and encapsulated in a coin capsule.
