Aslan was the Lion in the original book, 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' by C.S Lewis the Irish author and scholar.
The coin has been crafted to the faultless Proof standards of the Royal Australian Mint, and housed within a stunning handcrafted timber case, the distinguished presentation matches the prestigious nature of the coin.
