| Reverse description | A snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is depicted in dynamic pose atop a tree trunk, its body coiled and tensed as it prepares to leap. A bird in flight occupies the background upper field, with stylized mountain contours rendered behind the central group, evoking the leopard's natural high-altitude habitat. The composition is executed in high-relief proof finish, emphasizing the textural detail of the leopard's spotted pelt and the rugged terrain. The encircling rim legend reads СОХРАНИМ НАШ МИР (Protect Our World), forming a continuous inscription around the upper and lateral rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Russia's ongoing wildlife conservation series, this piece was struck at the Moscow Mint (MMD) in 2000 — a year when the newly inaugurated Putin administration was still consolidating federal authority over Siberian resource territories where the snow leopard's range overlaps with extractive industry expansion. Mintages for this series were consistently low, with individual animal issues rarely exceeding a few thousand pieces, making survival rates in any condition quite narrow.
