| Additional information |
Moldova's National Bank has produced a number of collector-oriented silver issues tied to native flora and fauna, though most circulate almost exclusively among thematic collectors rather than through any secondary numismatic market. The Lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium calceolus) is legally protected in Moldova under national environmental legislation, its wild populations having been drastically reduced by habitat loss and illegal picking.
KM#99 is a low-mintage commemorative with negligible circulation history.
