Detailed description
Big Five 5 Oz Elephant - High Relief
The unique silver coin issued by the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire for 2017 is minted from the purest 99.9% silver weighing 155.5 g (5 Oz). This five ounce coin is part of the highly successful Big Five series. The second representative of the Big Five African animals is the elephant.
The reverse of the coin shows a detailed head of an elephant with massive tusks. The portrait is underlined by the high relief processing technology used and the antique design. The scene is surrounded by the weight "5 OZ", the fineness "999 AG", "MAUQUOY" - the name of the Belgian mint that struck the coin and the inscriptions "HAUT-RELIEF (high relief in French), ELEPHANT (name of the coin)".
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 to be between 65 and 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 depicts the national emblem of Côte d'Ivoire with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE", the year of issue "2017 and the denomination "5000 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 999 pieces for the whole world!
