2017 Tanzania Half Gram Gold Big Five - Rhino Proof

Out of Africa and into Your Collection!

A term originally created by 19th century big game trophy hunters, Africa's "Big Five" referred to the most difficult -- and dangerous -- animals to hunt and kill on foot. Today, the lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard are still pursued by travelers to African parks and reserves. But these 21st century hunters are usually armed only with the latest zoom lenses and camcorders, on the hunt for the ultimate photo shoot! Can't afford to go on safari? No problem! Now you can capture your own rhino as a majestic 99.99% pure gold proof!

The Disappearing Black and White Rhinoceros

The most endangered species of the Big Five, very few of Africa's Black and White Rhinos now survive outside national parks and reserves. Since worldwide rhino poaching hit an all-time high in 2009, only 29,000 are estimated to be alive today. Fortunately, dedicated conservationists are working to vigilantly protect these beloved animals for future generations!
