From our perspective, Africa represents a different continent in many ways, if only because of the fauna and flora that are uncommon in Europe. For generations, the “big five” of animals, which are the most dangerous and difficult to hunt, continue to stir the imagination. It is precisely these mammals that the collection of coins is dedicated to, the first of which is a numismatic coin with an image of an African elephant.
The Big Five – African elephant
The South African coin contains one ounce of .999 gold and its mintage was limited to as few as 500 copies worldwide. It is a masterpiece of detail. The undulating, wrinkled texture of the elephant’s skin demonstrates the excellent craftsmanship of the South African Mint.
The African elephant, depicted on the reverse and obverse of this coin, is the largest living land animal and is found mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Interestingly, although they are impressive in terms of size, they are herbivorous in nature and do not prey on other species of animals.
The coin featuring an elephant was the first release of the collection, whose other elements also found their way to our online shop. Collect the “Big Five” from South Africa!
