2020 Sierra Leone $20 2-oz Silver Big Cats Lion High Relief Proof
First Release in “Big Cats of the World” Series Features the Regal Lion
You may enjoy it when your little cat crawls up on your lap, but a lion? It may sound enticing, but we advise against it. But this is the next best thing – it’s a silver lion that you can actually hold in the palm of your hands!
How is this possible? Simple; it’s because the world’s largest felines are the theme of a new coin series being produced by the award-winning British Pobjoy Mint. The series is entitled “Big Cats of the World” and now you can add the first coin in the series – the regal lion – to your collection!
Each coin is a masterpiece struck in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% silver that you and your family are sure to treasure for years to come. Issued on behalf of Sierra Leone, these coins are produced with high relief detail so magnificent and tactile that you can almost believe you’re touching the tawny coat of a real-live lion. (Assuming, of course, you do it while you’re wearing a pair of white gloves so as not to damage the gorgeous proof finish!)
The reverse of your 2020 Sierra Leone Big Cats Lion High Relief Proof coin depicts a male lion’s profile with the word “LION” incused within its mane and the words “BIG CATS” raised just above its head. The Sierra Leone Coat of Arms is featured on the obverse. 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 will come beautifully displayed in a unique acrylic box and shipped inside a colorful sleeve and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. 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.
