This past year, the nation of Burundi commenced their new “African Lion” coin series with the release of its 2015 1 oz Silver African Lion Coin. The exclusive piece will be restricted to a limited mintage of only 50,000 pieces. Each silver coin has been carefully crafted from 1 troy oz of silver and possesses a fineness of .999, consequently giving it an impressive face value of 5,000 Burundi Francs. All coins included in this particular collection are guaranteed to be in brilliant uncirculated and will be shipped in either a protective coin flap, original sealed tube of 20 or sealed monster of 500.
Coin Highlights:
The artwork for this stunning piece commemorates none other than Africa’s most ferocious predator, the lion. Gracing the front of the coin is a male lion, laying next to his female mate. The intense and attentive expressions on both their faces suggests that the pair may be on the look out for their next unsuspecting prey. Depicted around these feral felines are the Boabab trees and tall blades of grass that make up the terrain of their African savanna home. Such detailed rendering of both the lions and their native habitat are enough to make the viewer feel as though they were actually on safari. Also printed on the obverse of the coin is the title of the coin series and its year of mintage.
The reverse side of the coin offers a moving tribute to the rich culture of the Burundi people with an artistic rendition of the national coat of arms. In the center of the crest is a lion’s head, complete with a thick mane. Beneath it is an unfurling scroll inscribed with the nation’s motto of “Unite, Travail, Progres.” It is written the country’s official French language and translates into the words, “Unity, Work and Progress.” Serving as a circular border to this design are the coin’s vital information including its country of origin, mintage date, denomination, purity and weight.
With its beautiful artwork, the 2015 1 oz Burundi Silver African Lion Coin is stunning collectible that is suitable for both the wildlife enthusiast or world traveler.

“I give JMB 5 stars for their service, but the coin itself 3 stars. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a government issued coin with such a poor strike and relief.” |

Andreas from AL - March 17, 2015
“Great coin with a very low mintage, its not super shinny, but I kind of like the matte finish and being a little different, doesn’t show my finger prints as much when I handle them either !” |

Mel from OR - March 10, 2015
“Positive note..JM sent me a postage paid label to return my 10 coin purchase. Returned the 10 and they sent me another 10. Same thing, scratch mark on every coin just below the R in Republic. These coins are very poorly struck. Examine the edges of the coins very closely, they are wider at the top than at the bottom. Still JM is the best.” |

“Coins arrived in excellent condition, but the coin itself is not impressive. I wish there would be no writing on the front face of the coin.” |

Mel from OR - February 08, 2015
“Received 10 of these today. I was impressed by the looks of the coin and the lions but was very disappointed with the scuff marks. Scuff marks on every coin. There was a scratch on every coin just below the R in Republic. The scratch was in the exact same place like there was a bad die or something. I know these are not MS70 but was expecting better. Didn’t have this problem with silver eagles.” |

“Beautiful, the lions look amazing in person. Plus, at 50k minted, there’s good potential for increased value. Pleasing satin/matte finish and overall great purchase. Thank you JMbullion!!” |

Received my two coins today. Was a little worried after reading earlier reviews, but the coins were great! A little contact wear on the higher relief of the coins, but that is to be expected. I’m pretty sure the mark below the R in Republic is due to a defective die and not a scratch. I’ve never seen any two coins have a “scratch” in exactly the same place. I hope my next order leaves me as happy as this one! Thanks, JMB!

An average coin at best in terms of design and quality! There is no gloss (dull looking). Beware of possible milk spots (i had some in a sealed tube of 20 coins).
