The 100 ₸ silver coin of Kazakhstan, “Snow Leopard,” is dedicated to one of the strongest and rarest predators inhabiting the mountainous regions of Central Asia.

The coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. Issued in 2010, it continues the theme of preserving Kazakhstan’s wildlife and highlights species of important natural and symbolic value. This issue is of interest both to collectors and to those who appreciate commemorative coins with national themes and striking wildlife imagery.
