| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color depiction of an adult Siberian Tiger and its cub set against a wintry forest landscape rendered in naturalistic detail. The tiger and cub are shown in an intimate pose amid snow-dusted foliage, with the coloring applied to evoke the distinctive orange, black, and white striped coat of the species. Incorporated into the lower portion of the design is a struck motif depicting a pair of cupped, supportive hands, symbolizing wildlife conservation. The surrounding legend 'WILDLIFE IN NEED – SIBERIAN TIGER' arcs along the upper rim, with the specifications '1oz 999 SILVER' inscribed along the lower field. |
