2022 South Africa 1-oz Gold Big 5 Series II Rhino NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Black Core & Honey Signature

South Africa’s Latest Entry In Its Second Series Of Big 5 Coins Features The Black Rhino

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 Black Rhino

The third release in the Big Five Series II 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. The obverse of this legal-tender 50-Rand coin depicts the imposing head of a rhino. 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. 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!

Flawless Coins From Among The First Issued

Each 2022 South Africa One-Ounce Gold Big 5 Series II Rhino available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that the Gold Big Five Rhinos are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, a designation that means they were 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.

Signed Labels Add Another Layer of Scarcity

These Gold Big 5 Proofs will also come sonically sealed in acrylic holders with black display cores and encapsulated with labels personally signed Honey Mamabolo, the Managing Director at the South African Mint. The South African Mint allows only a small allotment of these special labels to be used for program releases, so their inclusion adds another layer of scarcity and collector exclusivity to this coin!
