Thanks to the South African Mint’s collection, we can become more familiar with the term “Big Five” of African fauna, i.e. mammals generally considered to be the most dangerous and difficult to hunt down. The second numismat from the collection depicts a lion – the king of the jungle.
Big five – the Lion
The precision with which the details of the lion’s appearance have been transferred onto the coin is astonishing. The numismat is not only interesting in terms of design, but most importantly as highly valuable. The original mintage of 500 copies has long since disappeared from original circulation, except in shops such as ours – Coins From World. Did you know that one ounce of gold was used to strike the coin? The bullion content, the limited mintage and the quality of workmanship make this coin desirable to collectors from all over the world.
Collect all the ‘Big Five’ 50 rand coins. They were created to commemorate the unique animals of Africa, however, the style of minting and the visual effect make them numismats of great collector value. Take your time while there is still a chance to order!
