Sierra Leone Mountain Gorilla $1 2011 BU Crown

$16.99

Sierra Leone – Mountain Gorilla – $1 – 2011 – Brilliant Uncirculated Crown – The Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the two subspecies of the Eastern Gorilla. It has a robust build with long, muscular arms, a massive chest, and broad hands and feet. It is the hairiest race of gorillas; its long, thick black hair insulates it from the cold of living at high elevations. There are two populations, one found in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa, within three National Parks: Mgahinga, in south-west Uganda; Volcanoes, in north-west Rwanda; and Virunga in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The other is found in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. As of Spring 2010, the estimated total number of Mountain Gorillas worldwide is 790.

$34.99

Guyana – Enameled Jewelry – Coin Pendant – Squirrel Monkey – 10 Cents – 1976 – with Bezel – This beautiful pendant consists of a genuine legal tender coin that has been painted and enameled by North Florida artist Dennis Armstrong. The process to complete one pendant takes approximately six weeks and consists of painstakingly applying each different color, letting the piece dry, then baking the coin prior to applying the next color. I have been handling his work since 2001 and have had nothing but overwhelmingly positive response from the people that have purchased one or more pendants. Many have become regular customers, continuing to acquire new pieces over the years as they have become available. Try one, you’ll love it!

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.

Sierra Leone Gibbon Monkey $1 2011 BU Crown

$16.99

Sierra Leone – Gibbon Monkey – $1 – 2011 – Brilliant Uncirculated Crown – Gibbons are apes in the family Hylobatidae. Gibbons occur in tropical and subtropical rainforests from northeast India to Indonesia and north to southern China, including the islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Java. Also called the lesser apes, gibbons differ from great apes (chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans and humans) in being smaller, exhibiting low sexual dimorphism, in not making nests, and in certain anatomical details in which they superficially more closely resemble monkeys than great apes do. Gibbons also display pair-bonding, unlike most of the great apes. Gibbons are masters of their primary mode of locomotion, brachiation, swinging from branch to branch for distances of up to 50 feet, at speeds as high as 35 miles per hour. They can also make leaps of up to 26 feet and walk on two legs with their arms raised for balance. They are the fastest and most agile of all tree-dwelling, non-flying mammals. Depending on species and gender, gibbons’ fur coloration varies from dark to light brown shades, and anywhere in between black and white. It is rare to see a completely white gibbon.

Sierra Leone – Capuchin Monkey – $1 – 2009 – Brilliant Uncirculated Crown – The capuchins are monkeys of the genus Cebus found in South America.

When explorers reached the Americas in the 15th century they found small monkeys who resembled these friars and named them capuchins.
