These powerful hunters thrive in grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands where they can track and chase large animals.

Lions are known for their social lifestyle, living in family groups called prides. A pride typically includes related females, their young, and one or more adult males. Lionesses handle most of the hunting and often work together to take down prey such as zebras and buffalo. While lions are famous around the world, wild populations have dropped over time due to shrinking habitat, conflicts with people, and fewer animals available for them to hunt.

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Congo World’s Wildlife Gold The Lion Coin shows a forward-facing portrait of a young lion cub. In many African traditions, lions are tied to ideas like strength, leadership, and protection. Their image has long been used to represent respected authority, and that symbolism still shows up today in everything from sports mascots to national symbols and well-known brands.

On the reverse of the 2025 1/2 Gram Proof World’s Wildlife Gold The Lion Coin, you’ll find the national coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The seal includes a rock base with an elephant tusk on the left and a spear on the right. Centered between them is a front-facing leopard head shown in raised relief.
