Grey-shanked
Douc Langar
Coin features the one of the most beautiful primates in the
world, the Grey-shanked Douc Langur. Endemic to Indochina, these
beautiful Douc Langurs have distinctive markings and bright
colours, which differ from the other Douc Langurs
Cat Ba Langur
Coin features the golden headed langur - the Cat Ba Langur,
which is found only on Cat Ba Island, located 30 kilometres
off the coast of Hai Phong, in Halong Bay, North Vietnam.
The leaf-eater numbers about 55 and is only found on Cat Ba
Island. Thought to be extinct in the 1990s, its potential
as a tourist attraction could aid its preservation.
Vietnam
Culture Coin
We are pleased to introduce for the first time a coin representative
of the unique culture of Vietnam. The coin features a Vietnamese
lady in her traditional costume and the Dan Nguyet, a sort
of guitar with a round wooden sound box from which it probably
derives its name, nguyet (moon). It has a long neck which
emits particularly melodious sounds.
This instrument
has an important role in Vietnamese traditional music. Due
to its long neck and high frets, it is also used as an ornament.
