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! Plus, each coin available in this offer comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.

Order Now, These Coins Won’t Be Around For Long!

With a strict limited edition of just 3,000 proofs, that means only a scant few of these coins are available to everyone who would like one. More than a century ago, people like Teddy Roosevelt would have donned a pith helmet and tracked down these animals as prizes for their trophy rooms. Today, people go on safaris in hopes of simply catching a glimpse of these often-endangered animals. Avoid the heat and take pride in bagging one of these coins from the comfort of your home simply by clicking it to your cart!
