2020 South Africa 1-oz Silver Big 5 Leopard NGC MS70 First Day of Production One of First 450 Issued w/Black Core & Big 5 Label

Stare Down South Africa’s Sleek Spotted Leopard

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 release of a new series of coins dedicated to these animals.

The latest release in series is this magnificent Spotted Leopard struck in one Troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver by the prestigious South African Mint — the same mint that brings us the iconic silver 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.

Extraordinary Images of Africa’s Elegant Leopard

The obverse of this legal-tender 50-Rand coin depicts a close-up image of a spotted leopard — one of Africa’s most graceful and powerful big cats. With a top speed of up to 37-to-40 miles per hour, the leopard is a fast predator that can be found throughout the continent in Africa’s woodlands, grassland savannas, forests, mountains and deserts. The coin’s reverse features a unique bisected image of a Leopard’s profile. When multiple coins are placed side by side it creates a complete close-up portrait of a Leopard 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, thick fur of a real leopard!
