2020 Sierra Leone Big Cats Cheetah 0.5g Gold Proof Coin

Pobjoy Mint are delighted to announce the release of the second coin in a series of five coins featuring Big Cats of the World. The 2 oz Silver High Relief coins featuring these “Big Cats of the World” were very popular and we are sure these Half Gram Gold versions will be as well. Issued on behalf of Sierra Leone, these new coins are being produced in magnificent fine Gold which really show the power of these animals and illustrate the appeal of these cats.

The Cheetah is a large cat of the subfamily felinae and the fastest land animal in the world. As its long legs and strong hindquarters suggest, it is built for running. A cheetah can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only three seconds. These big cats are quite nimble at high speed and can make quick and sudden turns in pursuits of prey. This big cat is the only one that cannot roar, they have amazing eye sight during the day and can spot prey from 5km away. The Cheetahs coat is yellowish with black spots and they live in open country where it spends a large part of its time crouched searching for its prey.

The coin has been produced in stunning Half Gram Fine Gold. The coin features the head of a Cheetah with the word “CHEETAH” incused and the words “BIG CATS” raised. As with the other coins in the “Big Cat” series, the denomination for the “Big Cats” is on the obverse of the coin. This is the second coin in the series and a further three coins will be released featuring: The Tiger, The Cougar and The Black Panther.
