2019 $20 2-oz Silver Sierra Leone Big 5 Lion High Relief Proof PF69UC w/Black Core

Second Release in New 2019 "Big Five" Series Features the Regal Lion

Africa. The very mention of the word conjures up images of green jungles, expansive savannahs and, of course, some of the most exotic animals found anywhere on earth. Among those animals are the so-called "Big Five," a term originally used to describe the five most dangerous animals to hunt on foot. They are the elephant, lion, Leopard, rhino and the buffalo – now considered to be the "must see" animals of the continent. For coin collectors, they're also part of a new "must-have" series of coins being produced in 2019 by the world-renowned British Pobjoy Mint.

The second coin in the new "Big Five" series is this spectacular Lion struck in two ounces of highly-pure 99.9% silver. Issued on behalf of Sierra Leone, these new coins are produced in magnificent high relief to further emphasize the immense power of the undisputed king of the savannah. The design of this amazing coin features the head of a lion styled as though it were an African mask. The coin's special incused rim continues that theme with an African pattern. The obverse shows the Sierra Leone Coat of Arms. Struck in gleaming proof condition, it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.

Each coin in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections – well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. Your coin will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a black display core giving you the best in protection while granting clear sightlines and perfect visual contrast for every beautiful detail.

Just 500 of these legal-tender proofs will ever be struck for worldwide release, which means if you want to bag one of these coins, you had better do it sooner than later before they disappear forever. Don't miss out, secure your 2019 Sierra Leone Big 5 Lion Two-Ounce Silver High Relief Proof today!
