This beautiful four coin collection celebrates 25 years of the much-loved Disney classic The Lion King, which was released on 15 June 1994.
Today, almost everyone in the world knows the story of the young lion cub Simba, who tries to find his place in the circle of life and follow the long, honourable shadow cast by his father, King Mufasa, after he is killed by his vengeful brother Scar.
Each coin features a full-colour image of Simba in a key scene from the film namely; Simba surveying the Pride Lands with his father Mufasa, Rafiki lifting Simba for all the kingdom to see, Simba nuzzling Nala, singing with friends Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog. Background elements have been engraved for contrast.
Each coin includes the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the mintage year 2019, confirming its authenticity as a 25th anniversary legal tender memento.
The coins are presented in red velvet inside story-book style packaging, decorated with stirring images from the movie. A separate Certificate of Authenticity is placed inside the front cover.
