The image is unmistakable. Framed by a lush mane, a feline face that radiates wisdom, authority and, if provoked, unimaginable fury.

However, the more we know about these fascinating animals, the more we've discovered their beauty and vulnerability. Adorable as cubs and majestic as adults, the lions of the African savanna still attract tourists and transfix millions around the globe today.
It's these same animals that serve as the namesake of the popular African Lion bullion coin. Struck since 2015, this beautiful series has been shared by several African countries, each year showcasing a new reverse design.
