2023 Djibouti 1000 Francs 1-Kilo Silver Big 5 Spherical Leopard Antiqued Coin

In tribute to one of the world's largest felines, the Republic of Djibouti's 1,000 Francs legal-tender coin portrays the majestic Leopard in a truly unique way! 

The coin showcases various detailed depictions of the Leopard, spanning 360 degrees around its surface. These stunning images include a close-up view of a growling Leopard, a leopardess guarding her cubs, a graceful Leopard traversing a tree branch, a Leopard in pursuit of its prey, and another Leopard scanning the horizon.

Regrettably, if current trends persist, encountering a wild Leopard may become an exceedingly rare event. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the African leopard population is rapidly declining, leading to its classification as "Vulnerable" on the IUCN's Red List. The factors contributing to this decline remain consistent, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, human persecution, illegal wildlife trade, ceremonial use of skins, prey base decline, and mismanaged trophy hunting.

This remarkable coin marks the fifth release in the Big 5 series, and its limited edition for the 2023 Djibouti Big Five Leopard Spherical Coin is set at a mere 199 pieces. Notably, all previous releases in the series were swiftly sold out at the mint. With just 199 of these 2023 Djibouti 1000 Francs One-Kilo Silver Big 5 Spherical Leopard Antiqued Coins produced for worldwide release, acquiring one will be a rare and cherished opportunity. Don't miss out on the chance to enrich your collection with this extraordinary spherical coin!
