Burundi 25 francs African Big Five Lion Animals Fauna colored silver coin 2019

Burundi 25 Francs, 2019, is a striking modern silver coin from the popular African Big Five series, dedicated to one of Africa’s most powerful and iconic animals — the lion. This issue celebrates wildlife, strength, and the natural heritage of the African continent through vivid artistry and refined minting.

The reverse presents a realistically colored male lion, shown standing proudly on rocky terrain. The animal’s muscular body, flowing dark mane, golden fur, tail with tufted tip, and alert facial expression are carefully highlighted with color application against polished silver fields. In the background appear stylized African landscapes, including distant rock formations and plains. Above the lion is the inscription “THE BIG FIVE – LION”, while a small outline map of Africa is placed to the right. Along the lower edge are the markings “Ag 999” and the denomination “25 FRANCS”.

The obverse features the coat of arms of Burundi, positioned centrally and framed by a smooth reflective field. The emblem includes a shield with a lion head, ceremonial elements, and the national motto “UNITE • TRAVAIL • PROGRÈS” on a banner below. The surrounding legend reads “REPUBLIKA Y’UBURUNDI • IBANKI YA REPUBLIKA Y’UBURUNDI”, with the date 2019 placed near the rim.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, this coin is a vivid wildlife collectible combining color, symbolism, and modern African numismatics.
