The third edition of the ‘Big Five’ collection from South Africa Mint gives us the opportunity to have a closer look at the black rhino, a surprisingly dynamic, large and powerful herbivore from southern and eastern Africa. And the numismatic coin itself? It has long been out of sale by the South African Mint, making this an excellent opportunity to enrich your collection.
The Big Five – Black rhino
In 2020 the minting of coins from the “Big Five” collection continued. The third numismat in the series became the one with the image of a rhinoceros on the obverse and the reverse. The coin looks excellent both in the accompanying collector’s box and when held in the hands. As with previous coins in the series, the meticulous attention to detail – in this particular model the texture of the rhino’s skin – continues to impress. The diameter of just over 32mm allows you to admire the perfection of the workmanship.
Only 500 of these 50 rand coins were minted, each using 1 ounce of .999 gold. Considering the availability of the other “Big Five” numismats in the Coins From World online shop – is there any extra reason to make a purchase?
Special features of the coin:
- Limited mintage
- Coin from the Republic of South Africa
- Rhino motif
- High precision in the reproduction of the details
- 1 oz pure gold
