2023 South Africa 1-oz Silver Big 5 Series II Buffalo NGC MS70 First Releases w/Big 5 Label

South Africa’s Final Entry In Its Second Series Of Big 5 Coins Features The Cape Buffalo

Some of the world’s most dangerous wild animals live in Africa and during the 1990s, The South African Mint released its Natura series that paid tribute to the five deadliest members within this lethal rogues’ gallery. The series was a humongous success and had collectors clamoring for more. The Mint finally acquiesced and released a new Big Five series in 2019. Once again, collectors could not get enough of these limited-edition coins. And so, in 2021 the Mint began a SECOND Big Five series featuring the same animals—the Elephant, Lion, Black Rhinoceros, leopard, and Cape Buffalo.

Come Face-To-Face With Africa’s Ornery Cape Buffalo

The fifth and final release in the Big Five Series II is this Cape Buffalo struck in one Troy ounce of highly-pure 99.9% fine silver by the prestigious South African Mint—the same mint that brings us the iconic gold and silver Krugerrands. The obverse of this legal-tender 5-Rand coin depicts the imposing head of an ornery Buffalo. The reverse features a unique bisected image of a Buffalo’s profile. When multiple coins are placed side by side it creates a complete close-up portrait of a Buffalo. If you dare, put on a pair of thin white gloves, and trace your fingers across the rugged design… it’ll almost feel like you’re caressing the leathery hide of a real Buffalo!

Each 2023 South Africa One-Ounce Silver Big 5 Series II Buffalo available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Uncirculated Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.
