Sierra Leone 2009-2011 Endangered Primates 6-Coin Dollar Set |
|
|
These beautifully stylized issues from the award-winning Pobjoy Mint highlight the plight of some of the world’s most endangered primates. As our closest relatives among the animal kingdom we find primates endlessly fascinating. Deforestation and hunting have put the future of many of these wonderful creatures at risk. The detailed engravings on these coins show each remarkable animal in its natural habitat. Our complete set features all six copper-nickel dollars in Brilliant Uncirculated quality. The 2009 issues present the Capuchin Monkey and Diana Monkey. In 2010 the Orangutan and Chimpanzee were commemorated. The two new 2011 issues feature the Agile Gibbon and the Mountain Gorilla. The reverse of each carries Sierra Leone’s intricate coat-of-arms.
