Tigers are one of the most awe-inspiring and powerful wild animals in the world today. An apex predator with no natural enemies in the wild, tigers once inhabited wide stretches of the Asian continent, the Indian subcontinent, and the islands of Sumatra and Indonesia. Today, tigers live in fragmented populations across an area that is less than 10% of the original habitat of the tigers prior to the 20th century.

Obverse

Angkor Wat is featured in the obverse design field of 2022 Cambodia Lost Tiger 1 oz Silver Coins. This design captures the quincunx design of the inner section of the temple at Angkor Wat. The term quincunx refers to a geometric pattern consisting of five points within a cross. Angkor Wats inner complex features a central spire with four towers around it forming this geometric pattern. The inscriptions on this face of the coin read KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA, 2022, and 3,000 RIELS.

Reverse

The head of a tiger is featured in the reverse design of 2022 Cambodia Lost Tiger Silver Coins. In this front-facing design, you see the head of the tiger emerging from the brush as its mouth is open slightly to expose its powerful, sharp teeth. The inscriptions on this field of the coin include LOST TIGERS OF CAMBODIA and 1 OZ 999 FINE SILVER.

History

It was once believed that there were as many as six subspecies of tigers, but modern genome sequencing and other research suggest there may only be two major subspecies of tigers. These two subspecies are split between those tigers living in mainland Asia and those living in the islands of Southeast Asia. However, within these populations, there are recognized differences. The Indo-China, or Indochinese, tiger is recognized as a part of the mainland population and is considered one of the largest tigers on average.
