Here you have the opportunity to admire a coin which in many respects is traditional, even though it is issued in 2020. The customers of our online shop have an interest in valuable and attractive coins from all over the world, which is why we are offering more and more numismatic coins from Africa. Let us now move to the Ivory Coast.

Prestigious coin with a lion

As few as 199 pieces were struck by the Belgian mint Mauquoy, which specialises in high-relief coins. An ounce of pure gold in each of these coins makes them highly prized, however for collectors every detail counts. The stunning design of the reverse is of crucial importance here, and the final effect is due to the antique finish.

The main character of the coin is a lion – the king of the jungle, one of the most dangerous and important animals in Africa. Its proud, penetrating gaze is striking from the very first moment one pays attention to the coin, and the very fact that it is such an expressive representation of the animal is the best confirmation of the quality of the work of the Belgian masters.

We would highly recommend this coin to anyone looking for priceless coins to complete their African collection and who appreciates a classical approach in numismatics.

Special features of the coin:

• One of 199 copies on the market

• Coin from the Ivory Coast

• An exclusive mintage of the Belgian Mauquoy

• Lion motif – one of the animals representing the African “Big Five”

• Collector’s set with packaging and certificate
