About the Big Five II Series
Following the success of the first Big Five release, the Big Five II Series continues to celebrate Africa’s most iconic and formidable animals — the Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Leopard, and Buffalo.

About the South African Mint
Established in 1890, the South African Mint has a rich legacy of excellence and precision in coin production. Once part of the Royal Mint, it became independent in 1941 and now serves as the official producer of South Africa’s currency on behalf of the South African Reserve Bank.
