Special blackened effect highlights Africa’s nocturnal animals...This newest release in the popular series featuring animals of Africa was created by England’s world-famous Pobjoy Mint. These new issues feature nocturnal animals, who sleep during the day and are active at night. To highlight the unusual habits of these intriguing creatures each copper-nickel coin is struck with a special blackened effect, creating a wonderful nighttime look. Included are the Pygmy Hippo, a shy solitary forest dweller; the Duiker, a small antelope known for diving jumps; the Honey Badger, a muscular and fearless digger; the Bush Baby, one of the smallest primates with large eyes and a loud cry. The border design includes a collection of stylized images. The reverse of each Brilliant Uncirculated dollar carries Sierra Leone’s intricate coat-of-arms. Copper-nickel. |
