LEOPARD REVIEW - Big Five Mauquoy - 5 Oz Silver Coin - Ivory Coast - 2018

Hi Dears, it’s Chiara, and welcome or welcome back to Power Coin’s blog!

Leopard

The leopard is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae.
The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range. Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.

No more talking, let’s talk about the coin now!

The Reverse

The reverse of the coin shows the impressive close-up of the face of a leopard, typical of the Big five series. On top of the reverse, the inscriptions: “5 OZ .999 AG” – the weight of the coin and the purity of the Silver, “MAUQUOY” – the Belgian Mint, “HAUT-RELIEF” – means high relief in French and “LEOPARD” – the name of the coin.

The Obverse

Passing to the obverse of the coin we find the Coat of Arms of the Ivory Coast, and the inscriptions: “REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D’IVOIRE” – the issuing country and “5000 FRANCS CFA” – the face value.
