China Year Of The Monkey 2 Piece Colored Medal Set Case & COA

$24.99

CHINA – YEAR OF THE MONKEY – (2) PIECE COLORED MEDAL SET – PRESENTATION CASE and COA—As legend would have it, it was Buddha himself who gave each animal its place in the Asian zodiac. When he called all the animals together following the creation, only twelve felt it necessary to attend the meeting. As a reward for their effort in making the long journey, Buddha offered each of them their own year, which would from then on bear the name of that animal. In addition, each animal was also given the opportunity to directly influence history during that time – and thus, in turn, the fate of those humans born in that year. Analogous to the characteristics of the respective animal symbol, and by means of your date of birth, you too can read those characteristic traits that may – or may not – apply to you. 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004— People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn’t be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly. They are most compatible with the Dragon and Rat. This beautiful two piece set comes in its original mint presentation case as shown, with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Sierra Leone Legal Tender Wildlife Coin Chimpanzee 2006 BU Prooflike

$19.99

The chimpanzee lives in the rainforest and savanna of equatorial Africa. Chimpanzees are typically three to five feet tall and weigh ninety to one hundred and ten pounds. They have light-colored, black, or blotchy skin, and large protruding ears. Partly because of their intelligence, these animals have been used extensively for scientific research. In 1961 the chimp Ham orbited the Earth in a rocket, preceding human astronauts. The demand for live chimpanzees for zoos and research has led to a significant decline in their population. Chimpanzees eat plants, ants, termites, and occasionally meat. They live and travel in small groups, communicating and expressing their moods with a variety of hoots, grunts, roars, and screams. They apparently delight in their own sounds. Chimpanzees have also demonstrated the ability to use and make tools, share and cooperate for the common good, express complex emotions and communicate using sign language. Issued under authority of the Government of Sierra Leone in 2006, this One Dollar legal tender crown-sized (38.6mm) coin features the Chimpanzee on its reverse.

Sierra Leone Diana Monkey $1 2009 BU Crown

$16.99

Sierra Leone – Diana Monkey – $1 – 2009 – Brilliant Uncirculated Crown – The Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana) is an Old World monkey found in West Africa, from Sierra Leone to the Ivory Coast. It ranges from 15 to 22 inches in length, excluding its tail, which is 20 to 30 inches long and adults weigh between 8 and 15 pounds. Individual Diana monkeys may live for up to 20 years. They are generally black or dark grey, but have a white throat, crescent-shaped brow-band, ruff and beard; the brow-band gave the species its common name, since it was held to resemble the bow of the goddess Diana. The monkeys’ underarms are also white, and they have a white stripe down their thighs, while the backs of their thighs, and their lower backs, are a chestnut color. Apart from the brow-band, ruff and beard, and some fringes on their limbs, their fur is short and sleek in appearance. Like most primates, Diana monkeys can always carry diseases that can be communicated to humans, like yellow fever and tuberculosis, but they are not important carriers of these. The species is regarded as vulnerable by the IUCN as well as by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the chief dangers to them being habitat destruction (they are now virtually confined to coastal areas) and hunting for meat.
