This coin set from the South African Mint includes all five issues of the popular Big Five Series II. Like the Big Five Series I., the series is dedicated to South Africa's impressive wildlife. The animals known as the "Big Five" are emblems and ambassadors of this culturally rich country.
The five coins included in the set were each struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality and show the portraits of those animals known worldwide as the "Big Five": an elephant, a lion, a rhino, a leopard and a buffalo. The inscription "South Africa" and the South African coat of arms are also part of the design. The reverse features two halves of each animal, creating a full close-up portrait when two coins are placed side by side. If several coins with the same motive are placed next to each other, a whole pack is visible.
The coins were released at intervals of six months between each issue, so the set includes coins dated 2021, 2022, and 2023.
The set comes with a luxury timber box, with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity from the South African Mint. |
