Detailed description
Big Five 1 Oz Elephant - High Relief
The unique gold coin issued by the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire for 2022 is minted from the purest 99.99% gold weighing 31.1 g (1 Oz). This coin is the fourth one-ounce gold coin to be released in the highly successful Big Five series and the elephant was chosen for its motif.
The reverse of the coin depicts a meticulously crafted elephant head with a massive trunk and tusk, a beautiful rendering enhanced by the high relief processing technology and antique finish.
The motif is surrounded by the weight "1 OZ", the purity "9999 AU", the inscriptions "HAUT-RELIEF (high relief in French) and "ELEPHANT". The motif includes the logo of the engraving workshop "P. De Greef" and the mark of the designer.
The elephant is the largest terrestrial mammal of the octopus family, which included the extinct mammoth. Elephants are divided into three species, African, Indian and forest elephants, their weight ranges from 5 to 6 tonnes for males and around 4 tonnes for females, and they live to be 65 to 90 years old. The largest described individual was shot in 1955 in Angola, weighing about 12 tonnes. A characteristic feature of elephants is their trunk, which can lift a load of 1 tonne. The other distinguishing feature is the massive tusks, which grow throughout their lives.
The ivory is also the reason for their illegal hunting, which has put them on the endangered species list.
The obverse shows the national emblem of Côte d'Ivoire with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE", the year of issue "2022" and the denomination "100 FRANCS CFA". The edge of the coin is numbered.
The coin comes in a luxury wooden gift box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of only 199 pieces for the whole world!
