Description

Tiger Big Five Mauquoy 1 kg 10000 CFA Francs Silver Coin Ivory Coast 2022

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 tiger with a piercing gaze, every stripe and long whiskers rendered in deep relief. HAUT RELIEF appears at the top, with 1 KG .999 AG, the year 2022 and the signature P. DeGreef at the sides.

Packaging

The coin comes in a box with a certificate of authenticity.

A gift idea

The tiger symbolises strength and courage – a powerful gift for an anniversary, a promotion or someone born in the Year of the Tiger.
