| 背面描述 | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of a Caucasian wildcat (Felis silvestris caucasica) in a crouching, predatory posture occupies the central field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail showing the animal's striped fur and alert facial expression. The cat is shown pressing down a bird beneath its forepaws amid a stylized rocky and branched landscape. Two curved red-coloured accent lines frame the central motif above and below. The Latin binomial legend FELIS SILVESTRIS CAUCASICA arches along the upper rim, while the Armenian legend ԿՈՎԿԱՍՅԱՆ ԱՆՏԱՌԱԿԱՏՈՒ curves along the lower rim. |

Armenia's wildlife conservation series drew little international attention when issued, but the Caucasian wildcat (Felis silvestris caucasica) depicted here occupies genuinely precarious ecological ground — the subspecies faces persistent pressure from habitat fragmentation across the South Caucasus and interbreeding with feral domestic cats, which geneticists consider a more insidious threat than outright hunting. The Central Bank issued this coin the same year Armenia was deepening its engagement with EU environmental frameworks, though the connection was likely coincidental rather than programmatic.
