Description
Lion Big Five Mauquoy 1 kg 10000 CFA Francs Silver Coin Ivory Coast 2017
The Big Five series by Mauquoy
The Big Five series is struck for the Ivory Coast by the Belgian mint Mauquoy, famous for its ultra-high relief (haut-relief). Each coin shows the head of a wild animal sculpted so deeply that it almost leaves the coin. The antique finish brings out fur, scales and wrinkles of the skin, making it look more like a sculpture than a coin.
A kilogram of silver in high relief
The coin weighs 1 kilogram of Ag 999 silver. Such a large coin allows a relief impossible on ordinary coins. It is a display piece – impressive on a shelf, in a cabinet or on a desk. The worldwide mintage is only 150 pieces.
Coin design
The coin shows the head of a lion with a lush, flowing mane that fills the whole coin. The calm, commanding gaze of the king of beasts is rendered with great precision. Around the edge are the inscriptions 1 KG .999 AG and MAUQUOY HAUT-RELIEF – LION.
Packaging
The coin comes in a box with a certificate of authenticity.
A gift idea
The lion symbolises power and courage – a prestigious gift for a boss, a business partner or a special anniversary.
