African Silver Bullion Coins Can Be Interesting.
African silver bullion coins are not as well-known as those from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia. But, the images on some of these coins are beautiful representations of African wildlife.
While many African countries have not authorized bullion coins, some have. And, the images most common are those of wildlife.
Several African countries, Somalia and the Congo, repeat the single animal theme, but vary the image annually. This year the Republic of South Africa has issued a Krugerrand silver bullion coin for the first time ever. Also, the republic of Chad has issued the Lion silver bullion coin. Of special interest is the Wildlife Coins of Rwanda. These change annually, featuring different wild animals.

I had the 2017 Chad Lion showing. The image is now correct.
It seems to be a lioness. I have no idea of a connection between Rwanda and the sailing ships.
blackspanielgallery, Thank you for the backstories and products: very lovely. Is there a historical connection between landlocked Rwanda and the Endeavour and Santa Maria? Isn't the Tchad coin of a lioness?
I am about to post the U. K. bullion coins. I believe you will be surprised. The article is written, but I have to find the products yet. Realize I show only one side. The other is often a coat od arms for the country.
As for the queen, I had someone at a coin show looking to buy a beautiful coin. It was either Canadian or Australian. He asked about the other side, and left saying he wanted no coin with the Queen. Another person asked for anything British and bought one for each grandchild. You never know what a person wants.
These are remarkable to me. I have never seen coins with animals on before.
In Britain we have to have the monarch's head on coins . These African ones are beautiful and far more attractive than UK coins .
