Description:
Few African countries are more aware of the urgent need to preserve our wildlife heritage than Sierra Leone. Always ready to promote awareness of the plight of species under pressure. Sierra Leone issued a set of five coins featuring those wonderful big cats – the Lion, Tiger, Cheetah, Cougar and Black Panther – sadly all in danger of extinction around the world. 

This stunning collector’s coin features the Lion, which is the second largest of the big cats and is large and powerfully built.  Known as the king of the beast, the Lion is one of the best known of the wild animals.  The lion is a well–muscled cat with a long body, short legs and a large head. 

The coin design is magnificent, depicting these beautiful animals in superb detail.

The other side of the coin shows the Sierra Leone Coat of Arms.
