There is something about elephants that never fails to capture the power of human wonderment and imagination. Their sheer size and power are obviously a key factor, but the tenderness and care they exhibit to their kin suggests to us a characteristic usually held as purely human - the ability feel compassion and to hold another in memory, even when they are no longer with us. This wonderful world coin from the "Big Five" series of Sierra Leone bearing the image of a mother elephant and her young calf captures beautifully the power and uniqueness of these splendid creatures. If you are interested in elephants, world wildlife, or coins of Africa then this brilliant uncirculated Crown would be a meaningful addition to your world coin collection.
