Detailed description
Elephant - 1 kg - Ultra high relief
This unique silver coin issued by the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire in 2018, minted in high relief and weighing 1 kg in antique standard, is the second kilogram coin in the Big Five series, this time with the elephant motif.
The reverse of the coin depicts a precisely crafted elephant's head with a massive trunk and tusk, the beautiful rendering is further enhanced by the high relief processing technology used. The scene is completed by the inscriptions "MAUQUOY HAUT - RELIEF ", "ELEPHANT" and the weight "1 KG" and fineness "999 AG".
The elephant is the largest terrestrial mammal of the octopus family, which included the extinct mammoth. Elephants are divided into three species, the African, Indian, and Forest Elephants, weighing between 5 and 6 tons for males and around 4 tons for females, and live 65 to 90 years. 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 depicts the national emblem of Côte d'Ivoire with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE", the year of issue "2018 and the denomination "10000 FRANCS CFA".
The coin comes in a wooden gift box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of only 150 pieces for the whole world!
