Gold Five Ounces 2022 Big Five - Rhino, Coin from South Africa - detailed information

Most of the surface area of the obverse is taken by a view of a Rhinoceros, facing right.

Below, surrounded by two curved ornaments reminiscent of ivory tusks, the legend SOUTH AFRICA is separated from the inscription BIG FIVE 2021 by a small Coat of Arms of South Africa.

The reverse of the coin features two halves of the rhino’s face, detailing its eye, ears and horn. This ingenious design allows for a complete close-up of a rhino to be seen only when two of the coins are placed next to each other. When multiple coins are placed next to each other, a herd is formed.

In a small circle at centre, the mass of the coin 5 OZ is surrounded by its face value FIFTY RAND above and the composition Au 999.9 below (Au is abbreviated from Aurum, which means "gold" in Latin and is used internationally on gold bullion coinage).

In the lower left, small letters PB represent the initials of the die-sinker (engraver) Paul Botes.

Gold content (troy oz): 5.000
Finish: "premium uncirculated" (proof).
Packaging: in luxury wooden box with Certificate of Authenticity.
