The white lion is found in the Timbavati region of South Africa. While the colour of their coat is a white, blonde colour, much lighter than the tawny African lion, they are in fact the same species. Their white coat is a result of a recessive gene carried by both their parents. As a result, a lioness can give birth to both white and tawny coloured cubs in the same litter.

The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1/2oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.
Cute White Lion Design
The coin’s reverse features two coloured white lion cubs playing in the grass in the Savannah. The inscription CUBS and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark also appear in the design.
