If You’re Going To Live By The River, Make Friends With The Crocodile

 

Despite growing to more than 20 feet long and weighing well over 2,000 pounds, many crocodile species are on the list of endangered animals. That’s because the number of these river monsters has been severely diminished due to uncontrolled hunting and poaching combined with the loss, destruction, and degradation of their habitat due to human encroachment. These fantastic reptilian creatures are now the focus of the Protecting Wildlife coin series that seeks to bring awareness to the importance of protecting endangered species. The coin itself is a jaw-dropping piece that on first look will have your heart in your throat thanks to its amazing Ultra High Relief detail that really brings the croc featured on the coin to life!

 

Could This Be The Famous Gustave?

 

This legal-tender 100 Francs coin was released on behalf of Burundi, a landlocked country located in east-central Africa. Burundi is home to Gustave, one of the most fearsome crocodiles ever known. A large male Nile crocodile, Gustave is a notorious man-eater who has been credited with killing as many as 200 people in his domain located between the banks of the Ruzizi River and the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika.

 

Struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this massive silver coin measures more than 2¾ inches in diameter so you can really see all of the eye-popping Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail that towers 8 mm above its surface. The addition of a unique antique finish adds even more depth and dimension to the design. Every scale, every claw, and every indentation in the formidable crocodile stands out. And since antique finishes are typically applied by hand, it means that no two coins are exactly alike. Plus, it will allow you to hold the imposing coin without fear of damaging it! Just be careful of those jaws, they look so realistic you might think they’re going to bite!
