Stuffed Toy Animal – Mason The Elephant – 10″ Tall – New – I know, you’re wondering what in the world this stuffed toy is doing in an otherwise respectable coin website. If you are wildlife fan, this lovely creature will be a daily reminder of your favorite animal and has the added advantage of not having to be fed. It would also make a great gift for any budding young numismatist with an interest in wildlife world coins.
There is something about elephants that never fails to capture the power of human wonderment and imagination. Their sheer size and power are obviously a key factor, but the tenderness and care they exhibit to their kin suggests to us a characteristic usually held as purely human – the ability to feel compassion and to hold another in memory, even when they are no longer with us. This wonderful world coin from the “Big Five” series of Sierra Leone bearing the image of a mother elephant and her young calf captures beautifully the power and uniqueness of these splendid creatures. If you are interested in elephants, world wildlife, or coins of Africa then this brilliant uncirculated Crown would be a meaningful addition to your world coin collection.
