Description

The African Wildlife Series from Somalia is released annually with a changing leopard motive and is extremely popular among collectors and investors worldwide. The motive features a mother leopard with her cub in the African savanna. The inscriptions “AFRICAN WILDLIFE”, “LEOPARD” and “1 oz Ag 999.9” surround the design. The reverse shows the national coat of arms of the Republic of Somalia, which depicts the Somalia flag and two leopards. The denomination and year of issue are also included in the design.

The Leopard (Panthera pardus) is a loner common in Africa and Asia, and belongs to the most graceful and powerful big cats on earth, along with the lion, tiger and jaguar. It is an excellent climber and, unlike most other big cats, can also climb down head first. Its excellent climbing ability also benefits the leopard in securing its prey – it often drags hunted animals up into trees several meters high, where lions and hyenas can no longer reach them.
