Sierra Leone The Big Five Lion 2001 $1- Br. Uncirculated Prooflike Coin
$19.99While anyone who has ever loved a pet cat can understand the beauty and mystery of these amazing creatures, the “big cats” of the world have long inspired the wonderment of all people. There is something awe-inspiring about these “cats” to which we would be but another possible meal. I once saw a tapestry which depicted Sampson’s struggles with an Arabian Lion. The idea of a man slaying or even fending off such a creature with no more than the jawbone of an ass seemed miraculous in itself. Later I saw an actual Arabian Lion at the zoo (they are extinct in the wild) and I was in shock at the immensity and the restless power of the creature. This wonderful world coin from the “Big Five” series of Sierra Leone captures beautifully the power and uniqueness of these splendid creatures.

Rep Of Sierra Leone WWII Series Battle Of Britain 2005 $1 Unc Crown
$14.99” What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.” Winston Churchill House of Commons, June18th 1940
Sierra Leone Legal Tender Dinosaur Crown Brontosaurus 2006 BU
$16.99We’re all familiar with the brontosaurus, one of the earliest dinosaurs to make it big in film and TV. Remember Bedrock and Fred’s pet Dino? Oddly enough the brontosaurus technically never existed as such. The proper appelation of this Sauropod is “Apatosaurus”, “Brontosaurus” being the misnomer that occurred due to a case of mistaken identity. In 1874 O. C. Marsh unearthed a nearly complete sauropod skeleton and dubbed it “Brontosaurus”. The Brontosaurus became one of the most identifiable and popular of all dinosaurs. In 1903, however, scientists determined that Brontosaurus fossils were not from a new species, but from a dinosaur already discovered, the Apatosaurus. To add to the confusion Marsh had no skull for his Bronto/Apatosaurus find and substituted the skull of another sauropod, Camarasaurus, in a museum display. It was not until the 1970’s that this was discovered and a more proper picture of the Apatosaurus was able to be presented. The name “Brontosaurus” was not formally removed from the records of paleontology until 1974.—Apatosaurus (Deceptive Lizard) weighed as much as 30 tons and measured up to 21 metres (70 feet) long.. All Sauropods were plant eaters.
