For thousands of years, this apex land predator has been regarded as the strongest, bravest and fiercest animal in the wild. “King Lion” has not only dominated the wilderness for a vast period of time, but as well inspired mankind. Ancient kings and heroes are likened to lions for their courage, strength, nobility and vigour. Featured on the 2^nd coin of the series, the bold African lion strides in the midst of his natural habitat. Engraved in the mammal’s body, we explore the continent’s most renowned and highest peak – Mount Kilimanjaro.
