Description

Tiger Noire Edition Big Five of Asia De Greef 5 Oz 5000 CFA Francs Silver Coin Ivory Coast 2021

A tiger in the darkness of the jungle

In 2021 the Tiger opened the Big Five of Asia series by P. De Greef, which repeated the success of the African Big Five. The Noire Edition shows the king of the Asian jungle in a whole new light – or rather in darkness: the whole coin has a black finish, and the only splash of colour is the predator's piercing yellow eyes.

Coin design

On the reverse the tiger looks straight at the viewer. Its head, struck in ultra high relief, shows every stripe, the fur and the whiskers, while the black finish gives it a mysterious, nocturnal look. The eyes are coloured yellow, so they catch the eye from every angle. Around it are HAUT RELIEF, 5 OZ .999 AG, the year 2021 and the signature P. DeGreef.

The obverse, also in a black finish, shows the coat of arms of Côte d'Ivoire with an elephant's head and palm trees, RÉPUBLIQUE DE CÔTE D'IVOIRE, the year 2021 and the face value 5000 FRANCS CFA.

Packaging

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

Gift idea

For a collector of wildlife coins and high relief, a safari fan or anyone collecting the whole Big Five series. A spectacular display piece.
