Cambodia’s remote wilderness areas are known for hosting an amazingly diverse array of wildlife species: nearly two thousand distinct types of mammals and birds, fish and reptiles. The Cambodian Wildlife Series of collectible coins aims to raise awareness of this important heritage and celebrate some of the most remarkable animal species in Southeast Asia, and its first release is devoted to the Clouded Leopard. Ranging from the Himalayan foothills all the way to South China, a large part of an estimated ten thousand Clouded Leopard population dwells in the forests of Cambodia, where the wild cat species roams or rest in the trees by day and descends to hunt at night. Their grace and beauty is paid tribute by the 2023 Cambodia Clouded Leopard 1 oz Silver Coin, now available for online purchase from the team at Provident Metals.

Obverse

The obverse side of this coin features the grand ruins of Angkor Wat, one of Cambodia’s most ancient cities and a famous landmark to this day. It’s accompanied by the inscription “KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA” above, while the year of issue and face value appear below.

Reverse

A finely-detailed engraving of a Clouded Leopard features on the coin’s reverse side. This is accompanied by the inscriptions “CLOUDED LEOPARD” and “1 OZ 999 FINE SILVER,” along with a backdrop that features decorative foliage.

History

Many species in the wild areas of Cambodia face the twin dangers of habitat pressure and deforestation, but despite this, the country retains wilderness areas with extraordinary biodiversity. Nearly a thousand different fish species, over 700 species of birds and reptiles, and just over 160 species of mammal make their homes in these regions. The Cambodian Wildlife Series seeks to draw attention to the sheer beauty of these species with pure silver collectibles that do their subjects justice: an endeavor in which the series’ first release, dedicated to the Clouded Leopard, is an immense success. This is a must-have item for wilderness enthusiasts, collectors, and investors alike.
