| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Turkmenistan's first wildlife conservation series, released just five years after independence from the Soviet Union. The Caspian snowcock (Tetraogallus caspius) inhabits the high-altitude rocky slopes of the Kopet Dag range along Turkmenistan's southern border with Iran — terrain so inhospitable that the bird itself is rarely encountered by collectors in any form, numismatic or otherwise.
The series was struck at a foreign mint, as Turkmenistan had no domestic minting facility capable of producing commemorative silver at this specification in the mid-1990s.
