One of an ongoing series of beautiful wildlife legal tender crowns being authorized by countries in the African continent. This crown has been minted from one ounce of .999 fine silver and the devices have been gold plated to create a stunning collectible. As the largest living land animal the African elephant has long played a powerful role in the regions it inhabits. It's range extends from south of the Sahara desert across Savannah, brush, forest, river valleys, and semi-desert regions of Africa. One African elephant daily consumes more than 225 kg of vegetation. With it's trunk an elephant will pick fruit, uproot grasses, strip trees of branches as well as smell, touch, handle objects, and throw dust and water. Their size and the value people have placed upon the ivory of their tusks has have inspired people for thousands of years to both revere and slaughter this amazing creature. I have many other elephant and wildlife silver crowns in my store, so please take a few moments to peruse them.
