Gabon African ounce series

I think this is a new series and is called "Nature's eyes", not "African Ounces".
It is 2 Oz and the original thing is that the eye is a dome shaped crystal.
Very Original, I like it!
Alex.
 
I would love to have / see tiger ... :)

It would be probably better to start new topic. Another rare animals series (with Swarovski):

Am I the only one to find these coins boring? :)
One elephan, then 3 elephants and in last coin 5 elephants... it looks like that game where one has to guess how many elephants there are in the picture... next coin what, sitting elephants instead of walking ones? Ops... I think I gave a good hint to the mint :P

LOL


I stopped buying these coins after 3th coin. I would like to have them all,because I really like them.
Unfortunately there is no solid info about series (how many coins of total will be in this series).
The price is too high (for $40-60 I would be still buying them).
 
No surprise the Mint continues to ruin this series. I have already discussed my displeasure with the handling of it.

Now they release another coin with a different obverse than the previous 5 coins. Oh and we have the 3rd coin out of 6 that display elephants. What the heck is going on????


This series would have been a grand slam had they released the coins much slower. Like 1 per year instead of 1 per month. Also if they would have kept the same obverse for every coin but just changed the African country used. Oh if they would have used a different African animal for every coin instead of the same ones over and over. Just my 2 cents.
 
I mean they went from "Elephant Silver Ounce" to "Baby Elephants Silver Ounce" to "Elephants Silver Ounce". They added the "s"!

Somebody please make them stop the madness! I guess next will be "African Lions" cause we already have "African Lion".
 
Hi
That coin with 5 big elephants i think it is from diferent mint, on the back You can see Queen Elisabeth, and its not Francs, You can see it here :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271272088492?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
So in this series is I think at the moment only 5 coins.

On ebay You can find many 1 oz and 3 oz coins. For example, Rhino 1 oz i 2012 dated, 3 oz is 2013 dated. Same story with baby lions.
CanT find more, but I have as well 1/8 oz gold lion, mintage 1000 coins- 5000 Francs - still on ebay from german seller.
Have too 9 oz silver lion-10 000 Francs, mintage 300 coins.
And my question now, did any one saw more coins 9 oz silver and 1/8 oz gold from this series? Because the lion is stil available, and will be good to have them all.
Thanks for any help ;)

Ps. sorry for my english, but it is not my native language.
 
and about the years of those coins, but still dont have all info :

1 Elephant : 1oz is 2012, 3 oz is 2012
2 Rhino: 1oz is 2012, 3 oz is 2013
3.Baby lions: 1oz is 2012, 3 oz is 2013
4.Lion: 1,3 and 9 oz is 2013, same 1/8 oz gold is 2013
5.Baby Elephant: 1oz is 2013

Thats all I've got, but still looking for more ;)
 
When them will arrive to me, I will upload pics of all sizes of the Lion coin.
till this time I will know how to do that :p
 
so why they just dont put some info on internet about that series?
BUt, If we speak about Gabon, there was only 3 coins, and 2 coins from Congo.
I sam one more coinf from gabon, but it was with green snake, i think mamba
 
This series is just a jumbled up mess. I had to stop collecting it due to the many releases at too fast a pace along with the changing nations and sizes. Nice coins...bad investment IMHO.
