Fifth Release in the Wild Mongolia Series

Following the majestic releases honoring the Eagle, Wolf, Argali, and Saker Falcon, the 2024 Snow Leopard joins the Wild Mongolia series as another awe-inspiring ambassador of Mongolia's rich biodiversity. Each coin in this collection showcases a native species revered for its strength, grace, and place in Mongolia’s natural and cultural heritage.

The Snow Leopard, known for its thick fur, powerful build, and elusive behavior, is often called the “ghost of the mountains.” It serves not only as a national symbol but as a global emblem for endangered species. This coin captures both the beauty and ferocity of the creature in a way that few collectibles can match.

Stunning Design & Smartminting® Excellence

On the reverse, the Snow Leopard is brought to life through ultra high relief smartminting® technology, which gives its facial features remarkable realism and dimension. The large feline stares outward with piercing eyes and a poised expression, exuding quiet power. In the background, a ghosted full-body image shows the predator mid-pounce—symbolizing the stealth and precision of this masterful hunter.

On the obverse, the official Coat of Arms of Mongolia is placed within an octagonal frame, rising in high relief from a field of geometric patterns. To the left, the claw of the Snow Leopard grips a tree trunk—a subtle nod to its dominance and agility. Surrounding inscriptions detail the coin’s legal tender value (1,000 Togrog), metal content, and issuing nation. Hidden within the geometric background is the year-date—a clever and subtle addition to the design.

Black Proof Finish & Packaging

This edition features a black proof finish, which gives the coin a dramatic visual contrast. The glossy, mirror-like fields emphasize the coin's matte high-relief design elements, creating exceptional depth and drama in the imagery. This premium finish distinguishes the coin as a true collector’s piece.

Each coin comes individually encapsulated and presented in a luxurious display case, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity verifying the mintage and specifications. With only 999 pieces minted, this is an extremely limited issue destined to become a highlight in any serious numismatic collection.
