| Additional information |
Cambodia's Indochinese tiger population collapsed through a combination of habitat loss and poaching so severe that the subspecies is now considered functionally extinct in the country — the last confirmed wild sighting dates to 2007. The National Bank of Cambodia has periodically issued wildlife-themed silver pieces since the 1990s, many targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
Struck to one-troy-ounce .999 fineness, a format that dominates the modern commemorative silver market from smaller issuing authorities.
