Cook Islands Endangered Wildlife Chimpanzee $50 1990 Proof Silver Crown
$64.99This 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
$72.99In 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.
Togo Year of the Monkey Baboon 2004 1000 Francs Proof Silver Crown
$64.99Yet another in a line of beautiful gilded proof silver zodiac world coins this Crown is one of two that ties as my favorites. The reverse side’s design is simple and elegant and displays a baboon in the familiar pattern of zodiac coins from many other countries, but the obverse, showing a warrior of Northern Chinese ethnic stock bedecked in a plumed headpiece and ample necklaces, is especially striking and elevates this world coin greatly in my estimation. If you are a Monkey or a world coin collector with an appreciation for unique zodiacal world coins then this one would be a stunning addition to your collection.
Togo Year Of The Monkey Chimpanzee 2004 1000 Francs Proof Silver Crown
$64.99Yet another in a line of beautiful gilded proof silver zodiac world coins this Crown is one of two that ties as my favorites. The reverse side’s design is simple and elegant and displays a baboon in the familiar pattern of zodiac coins from other countries, but the obverse, showing a woman in what appears to be the dress of the native Miao people of China with halberd bearing soldiers gathered in the background, is especially striking and elevates this world coin in my estimation greatly. If you are a Monkey or a world coin collector with an appreciation for unique zodiacal world coins then this one would be a stunning addition to your world coin collection.
Eritria Preserve The Planet Monkey One Dollar BU Crown
$14.99One of the issues in the ever-popular Preserve Planet Earth series of coins issued by multiple nations. This crown depicts a Colobus Monkey and would be a welcome addition to any collector of wildlife or world coins.
Isle Of Man Zodiac Coin Year Of The Monkey 2004 One Crown Uncirculated
$16.99As 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.
Sierra Leone Legal Tender Wildlife Coin Chimpanzee 2006 BU Prooflike
$19.99The 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 Legal Tender Wildlife Crown Gorilla 2005 BU
$16.99One of the four wildlife crowns issued by Sierra Leone in 2005, this coin has a legal tender value of $1 in its country of origin. 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.
