Why does this magnificently struck 2024 South African Mint Big 5 Series Elephant 1 oz. gold brilliant uncirculated coin belong in your collection?
The South African Mint is well known for producing collectible coinage, which highlights the diversity of wildlife that is native to the African continent. In 2019, the Mint launched a series dedicated to the animals known as the Big Five: the African elephant, lion, black rhino, spotted leopard, and Cape buffalo. The creatures are synonymous with the wilds of Africa and are traditionally most feared for their massive size and territorial nature.
