The wild areas of Cambodia are known for their astonishing biodiversity, and especially for their wildlife, collectively boasting close to two thousand species of mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish. This important heritage is celebrated by the Cambodian Wildlife Series of bullion collectibles, whose first release commemorates the elusive and solitary Clouded Leopard. An arboreal big cat species that uses its tail for added balance and augmenting its incredible climbing skills, the Clouded Leopard spends much of its time in the trees of its dense forest habitat, descending at night to hunt. An estimated ten thousand of these leopards range from the Himalayan foothills into Southeast Asia and South China, and their unique beauty is celebrated by the 2023 Colorized Cambodia Silver Clouded Leopard 1 oz Silver Coin.
