This coin is part of the series of the fauna of Peru - weight 7.32 g - diameter 25.5 mm - The yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda) is a monkey endemic to Peru. It is a rare primate species found only in the Peruvian Andes, in the departments of Amazonas and San Martin, as well as bordering areas of La Libertad, Huánuco, and Loreto. The yellow-tailed woolly monkey was at first classified in the genus Lagothrix along with other woolly monkeys, but due to debatable primary sources, they have been placed in Oreonax. Oreonax has been proposed to be a subgenus of Lagothrix, but others have regarded it as a full genus. A recent extensive study proves that the yellow-tailed woolly monkey may indeed be in Lagothrix.
