Interesting fact
The Smilodon coin from Ivory Coast features an image of a saber-toothed tiger (Smilodon fatalis) on its obverse side. The saber-toothed tiger is an extinct species that lived in North and South America during the Pleistocene epoch, and it's interesting to note that it has no direct connection to the Ivory Coast or Africa in general. The choice of featuring this animal on the coin may have been inspired by its fearsome reputation and powerful symbolism.
