2013 Somalia "The Big Five" 5-pc Set

Go On Your Own Private Safari And Bag Africa’s Most Dangerous Animals

Some of the world’s most dangerous wild animals live in Africa. They are the Cape Buffalo, Rhinoceros, Elephant, Leopard, and lion—collectively known as “The Big Five” to generations of big game hunters who have risked death and dismemberment by going on safaris in search of these exotic animals. A century ago, people like Teddy Roosevelt would have donned a pith helmet and tracked down these animals as prizes for their trophy rooms. Today, people go on safaris in hopes of simply catching a glimpse of these often-endangered animals. Now you can avoid the heat, claws, tusks, and horns; and bag all five animals in one fell swoop with this exciting collection of coins from the African nation of Somalia.

The coins in this wild and wooly set include a copper 5 Shillings Cape Buffalo, a nickel-plated steel 10 Shillings Rhinoceros, a brass 20 Shillings Leopard, a bimetallic 50 Shillings elephant with a copper-nickel center inside a brass ring, and a nickel-plated steel Crown-sized 100 Shillings Lion that measures a whopping 38.8 mm in diameter.
