2016 Perth Mint PNC - Endangered Wildlife - Snow Leopard

Journey to the breathtaking heights of Central Asia with this stunning stamp and coin cover featuring the elusive snow leopard. Released by the Perth Mint and Australia Post, this limited-edition cover celebrates these magnificent creatures and their remarkable adaptations to the harsh alpine environment.

Snow leopards are perfectly equipped for life in the mountains. Their thick fur provides insulation against the cold, while their wide, fur-covered paws act like natural snowshoes. With powerful legs, they can leap an astonishing 15 metres! Their long tails provide balance and can even be used as blankets to protect sensitive body parts from the extreme chill.

This captivating cover includes:

• A colour coin: Showcasing two adorable snow leopard cubs amidst the majestic mountains of Central Asia. The design also includes the inscription "CUBS" and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark.
• A legal tender coin: The coin's obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2016 year-date and the monetary denomination.
• An official $1.00 stamp: Postmarked for the first day of issue, 20th September 2016, in Mosman NSW 2068.
• Australia Post's seal of authenticity: Guaranteeing the cover's genuineness and collectability.

With an issue limit of just 7,500, this stamp and coin cover is a must-have for collectors and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

Please Note: Minor wear may be present to the cover.
