Comment

A .500 fine non-proof silver strike was also issued.

These coins are often described as commemorating the 15th anniversary of the WWF. However, catalogues only go as far as to say that the subject of the coin is "conservation".

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1974 Tanzanian 50 Shilingi Conservation coin is that it features a unique design that highlights the country's commitment to wildlife conservation. The coin's obverse side depicts a majestic lion, while the reverse side features a scene of a rhinoceros, an elephant, and a giraffe, surrounded by a lush savannah landscape. This design not only showcases Tanzania's rich wildlife heritage but also serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and preserving the country's natural resources for future generations.
