Interesting fact
The 10 Leones coin from Sierra Leone, minted in 1987, features the endangered African wild dog on its reverse side. The coin was issued as part of a series of coins launched by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to raise awareness about endangered species and promote conservation efforts. The African wild dog is a highly social animal that is found in the savannas and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, and it is estimated that there are only around 6,600 individuals left in the wild. The coin's design not only highlights the beauty of this species but also serves as a reminder of the need to protect and conserve it.
