Coin of the Week 10/19/2012

This week's "Coin of the Week" comes from the country of Kazakhstan. We offer many different coins from Kazakhstan. 41 listed for sale as of today. We pride in ourselves in being able to offer so many unique coins from some of the lesser known countries of the world.

Kazakhstan offers ever-changing scenery, from mountains, to desert, to forests. With such dramatic change in environment brings many different animals. One of these the animals, the Snow Leopard (Uncia Uncia), is featured on this weeks, coin of the week.

The snow leopard (Uncia uncia) is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. The southern Mountains of Kazakhstan are an ideal terrain for the Snow Leopard and the Kazakhstan Mint has done a wonderful job showing their appreciation for the most prevalent large cat in their country.

This 1/4oz Gold Proof Coin leaves a lasting impression from its exquisite Diamond gaze. The Latin name for the Snow Leopard Uncia Uncia is inscribed into the coin above the greatly detailed depiction of the Snow Leopard. The Diamond Eyes and detail of the fur on this coin really sets it apart from other coins.

We currently have this coin listed in our Sales section. Be sure to have a look at our New Coins section as well.
