The wilderness of Cambodia is home to some of the richest biodiversity in Southeast Asia. From dense rainforests to freshwater rivers, nearly two thousand species of mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish can be found throughout the country’s untouched ecosystems. To honor this natural heritage, the Cambodia Wildlife Series was launched, beginning with the 2023 1 oz Silver Clouded Leopard Coin.
The Clouded Leopard is one of the rarest and most mysterious big cats in the world. As the oldest species in the pantherine branch, it first appeared between five and ten million years ago. Known for its solitary lifestyle, this arboreal predator spends daylight hours resting high in the canopy, only descending at night to hunt. Its long, muscular tail helps maintain balance while climbing, giving it an agility unmatched by most other cats. Unfortunately, due to deforestation and habitat destruction, wild populations are now estimated at fewer than 10,000, making conservation awareness crucial. This series seeks to highlight both the beauty and the plight of this remarkable species.
Each 2023 Cambodia Silver Clouded Leopard Coin is struck in 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and comes in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, ensuring sharp detail and original mint luster. The coins are securely packaged in protective acrylic capsules.
Obverse Design
The obverse of the coin proudly displays the historic Angkor Wat temple ruins, Cambodia’s most famous cultural landmark. Around the design appears the inscription “KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA,” while the year of issue and legal tender face value are engraved below.
Reverse Design
The reverse features a finely detailed Clouded Leopard surrounded by lush jungle foliage. The inscriptions “CLOUDED LEOPARD” and “1 OZ 999 FINE SILVER” confirm the weight and purity of the coin.
This coin is not just bullion—it’s a piece of Cambodia’s natural and cultural story. Collectors and investors alike will appreciate the combination of limited mintage, striking design, and global recognition of silver bullion coins. As the first release of the Cambodia Wildlife Series, the 2023 Clouded Leopard Silver Coin offers both intrinsic value and collectible appeal, making it a standout addition to any precious metals portfolio.
