Sierra Leone The Big Five Lion 2001 $1- Br. Uncirculated Prooflike Coin

$19.99

While anyone who has ever loved a pet cat can understand the beauty and mystery of these amazing creatures, the “big cats” of the world have long inspired the wonderment of all people. There is something awe-inspiring about these “cats” to which we would be but another possible meal. I once saw a tapestry which depicted Sampson’s struggles with an Arabian Lion. The idea of a man slaying or even fending off such a creature with no more than the jawbone of an ass seemed miraculous in itself. Later I saw an actual Arabian Lion at the zoo (they are extinct in the wild) and I was in shock at the immensity and the restless power of the creature. This wonderful world coin from the “Big Five” series of Sierra Leone captures beautifully the power and uniqueness of these splendid creatures. If you are a lover of cats, wildlife, or world coins then this wonderful coin depicting the head of a lion would be a great addition to your world coin collection.
