| Reverse description | A finely detailed snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is depicted in a recumbent pose, facing the viewer with its head raised, its thickly spotted coat rendered with naturalistic relief across the lower field. Behind the animal, stylised jagged mountain peaks rise into the upper field, evoking the high-altitude habitat of the species. The Gregorian year 2000 appears to the right of the central design. The legend - SNOWLEOPARD - arcs along the upper border in Latin script, while the binomial scientific name - IRBIS UNCIA UNCIA - curves along the lower border, each legend flanked by dashes. |
