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.

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.

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

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.

Cook Islands Endangered Wildlife Chimpanzee $50 1990 Proof Silver Crown

$64.99

This beautiful proof silver crown was minted by authority of the government of the Cook Islands, features a Chimpanzee and has a legal tender value of $50 (New Zealand), which is equivalent to $33 United States Dollars at current exchange rates. There were 24 coins produced in this series which were minted from 19 to 20 grams of .925 silver as part of The Fund For Endangered Wildlife series of coins dated between 1990 and 1991. The value of the coins in the secondary market fluctuates based on the wildlife depicted on the coin, because some species tend to be collected more avidly than others. My personal belief is that as more collectors discover these stunning wildlife world coins, their value will continue to increase dramatically.

WWF Zaire Mountain Gorillas 2.5 Zaires 1975 Proof Silver Crown

$72.99

In the 1970s, the World Wildlife Federation was able to accomplish a significant feat when they arranged for each of twenty-four different countries to issue two proof silver crowns, each depicting some form of endangered species from their particular region of the planet. The countries issuing coins were: Afghanistan, Botswana, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Fiji, the Falkland Islands, Gambia, Indonesia, Jordan, Malawi, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mongolia, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, the Seychelles, Sudan, Tanzania, Thailand, Venezuela, Zaire and Zambia. Assembling a complete collection of World Wildlife Federation crowns is an admirable yet feasible goal, as all of the coins are sold out at the mints that issued them and are only available in the secondary market. The proof silver crown shown here is one of the forty-eight coins issued and would make a great addition to any collection of wildlife or world coins.

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.

Home to the Dewar Wildlife Trust’s Gorilla Sanctuary, high in the hills of the Western Forest, Sierra Leone ironically has no Gorillas. This, however didn’t deter their mint from issuing this beautiful commemorative to these creatures lost to the modern country. As a promotion for their efforts at conservancy this is perhaps a doleful reminder of how urgent these efforts now are.
