Cheetahs are not native to the Nagorno-Karabakh region or Armenia. The choice to feature a cheetah and its cub on the coin is likely symbolic rather than representative of local wildlife. The symbolism could range from themes of speed, agility, and grace to broader concepts like family bonds or conservation efforts. Given that cheetahs are not indigenous to the area, the coin's design is more likely to carry a symbolic meaning rather than reflect the region's fauna.
