On the obverse of 2018 Silver African Leopard Coins, you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This image of the Queen was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley for the Royal Mint and was used on British coinage from 1998 to 2015. The Republic of Ghana declared its independence from the United Kingdom in 1957, forming a Republic in 1960 and ratifying its modern constitution in 1992.

The reverse of 2019 1 oz Republic of Ghana Silver African Leopard Coins includes the image of a leopard high in a tree with its kill, a small antelope. The leopard’s practice of lardering consists of dragging its kill into the higher branches of a tree and leaving it there. Graceful climbers, the leopard enjoys the freedom to live on that kill for days at a time without worrying about scavengers taking its kill.

Leopards are the second-largest wild cat on the African continent behind the African lion. Leopards are typically much smaller than lions in weight, with long bodies capable of climbing trees with ease. Leopards historically had a range that included North Africa, but for the most part, are found in Sub-Saharan Africa.
