2023 South Africa 1-oz Silver Big 5 Series II Leopard NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue

South Africa's Second Series Of Big 5 Coins Bags The Spotted Leopard

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 Rhino, Leopard, and Cape Buffalo.

Come Face-To-Face With Africa's Sleek, Spotted Leopard

The fourth release in the Big Five Series II is this magnificent Leopard struck in one 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 a Leopard. The 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. 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 spotted fur of a real Leopard!
