2017 Chad 150,000 Francs Kilo Silver African Lion NGC Gem Proof

A New Lion Is On the Prowl

When most people think of an African lion, they often think only of the iconic image of a male lion with a gorgeous mane surrounding his head like a crown. While it’s true the male reigns over a pride of lions, it’s the lioness who does all the hunting. In almost military-like precision, the females stalk their prey and wait for just the right moment to strike. Only then does the male appear to take his “lion’s share” of the kill.

The Queen of the Jungle finally gets her due on this impressive silver kilo coin that shows a sleek lioness silently stalking her prey through the long grass of the savannah. Her laser-focused eyes seem to be staring straight at you as if YOU were its prey! Only a coin of this size could show such an exciting and dynamic image. The coin’s obverse image displays an image of Africa with a recessed section identifying The Republic of Chad, the coin’s country of origin.

Struck in a full kilo of 99.9% fine silver, this legal-tender 150,000 Francs Proof has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in Gem Proof condition. These coins were struck by the Sunshine Mint, a highly respect private mint that is one of the U.S. Mint’s a suppliers of silver planchets.

Our small supply of these spectacular Silver Kilo Proofs will not be “lion” around for long. The hunt is on -- secure yours today!
