SILVER PERTH MINT WHITE LION CUBS 2016 PROOF COIN-1/2 OZ
The popular Australian Cub Series of 2016 from the Perth Mint rolls on with the release of the White Lion coin. The 4th coin in this adorable series features the image of two cubs, which maintains the design theme featured across the entire series to date. Unique among an already dwindling population of big cats, the white lion is found exclusively in the Timbavati region of South Africa. Although the white lion has a white, sometimes blonde color, to its coat, the species is the same as the tawny African lion.White coloration in big cats is a recessive gene carried by both parents, and it is possible for a female to give birth to both white lion cubs and tawny colored cubs in the same litter of new cats. This fourth release continues the Perth Mint’s look at some of the most adorable big cat species in the world through the lens of young cubs at play.
