Additional information

Tanzania's "Lions Growing Up" issues belong to a multi-release wildlife education series produced for the collector market — coins that never circulated domestically and were sold almost entirely through European distributors. The 155.5g format places this squarely in the 5oz silver category favored by the secondary market in the early 2020s, when oversized wildlife rounds from African issuing authorities flooded dealer inventories.

The Bank of Tanzania has lent its name to dozens of such collector pieces with little operational involvement in their production, which is typically contracted to private minting houses in Europe.
