2020 South Africa 1-oz Gold Big 5 Rhino NGC PF69UC First Day of Issue w/Black Core, Big Five Label & Tumi Signature

Face Down South Africa’s Black Rhino

Some of the world’s most dangerous wild animals live in Africa. Not long ago the highest mark a sportsman could attain was being able to hunt down “The Big Five” animals on the continent – the Elephant, Lion, Black Rhinoceros, Leopard and Cape Buffalo. Each animal was quite capable of killing humans, and they often did – even the herbivores! Now you can hunt down these beasts without ever leaving the comfort of your easy chair thanks to the South African Mint’s series of coins dedicated to these animals.

The latest release in series is this magnificent Black Rhinoceros struck in one Troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold by the prestigious South African Mint – the same mint that brings us the iconic gold and silver Krugerrands. It’s also the same mint responsible for the immensely popular Natura series that began in the 1990s and featured the same Big 5 animals.

Face To Face With A Black Rhino

The obverse of this legal-tender 5-Rand coin depicts a close-up image of the critically endangered Black Rhinoceros that is native only to Eastern and southern Africa. The reverse features a unique bisected image of a Rhino’s profile. When multiple coins are placed side by side it creates a complete close-up portrait of a Rhino staring straight into your eyes. If you dare, put on some thin white gloves and trace your fingers across the rugged design… it almost feels like you’re caressing the thick, folded skin of a real rhino!

Certified High Grade Proof Coins From The South African Mint

Your 2020 South Africa One-Ounce Gold Big 5 Rhino has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections – well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has certified your coin to be a First Day of Issue (FDI) release, meaning it was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. What makes this coin even more special is that it will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a black display core and encapsulated with a special “Big 5” label that has been personally signed by South African Mint Director Tumi Tsehlo!
