Design
The Great Lion Aslan radiates solemnity and joy, strength and gentleness, fury and tenderness. When the children hear Aslan’s name, they feel hope. When they see him, his golden power nearly overwhelms them. When he speaks their names, they know they have met their greatest and truest friend. His wisdom and compassion are as boundless as his courageous heart. And in the end nothing - not even the dark payment the White Witch demands of him - can bind him or contain his power.
Struck to the exceptionally high standards of the Royal Australian Mint, this fine silver coin has been selectively plated with gold to enhance the coin’s design.
The reverse of the coin displays a carefully crafted image of Aslan the lion, a character from The Chronicles of Narnia - the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; while the obverse contained Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
