2024 South Africa 1-oz Silver Big 5 III Elephant Proof

The Stampede Is On For South Africa’s Big 5 Series III Elephant

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 acquiesced and released a new Big Five series in 2019. Collectors could not get enough of these limited-edition coins and in 2021 the Mint began a SECOND Big Five series featuring the same animals—the Elephant, Lion, Black Rhinoceros, Leopard, and Cape Buffalo. Collectors were STILL not satisfied, which bring us to 2024 and a THIRD series of Big Five animals!

The World’s Largest Land Animal

Leading off as the inaugural coin in the Big Five Series III is this magnificent Elephant, the world’s largest land animal, 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 full-bodied portrait of a bull elephant tramping across the African plains. The reverse features a unique bisected image of an elephant’s profile. When multiple coins are placed side by side it creates a complete close-up portrait of an elephant. If you dare, put on a pair of thin white gloves, and trace your fingers across the rugged design… it almost feels like you’re caressing the torso of a real elephant!
