Product Description:
- With the release of the Big Five II Series, the South African Mint continues the success story of a coveted classic. Once again, the Series includes a total of five coins, all dedicated to South Africa’s impressive wildlife.
- The animals known as the “Big Five” – Elephant – Lion – Buffalo – Rhino – Leopard – are considered emblems and ambassadors of this culturally rich country and represent the African fauna.
- The third issue is dedicated to the Rhino and published as a Double Capsule Set.
- This unique set contains twice the third release in the Big Five II Series, each struck from one ounce of 99.9% silver in proof quality.
- The motive features the impressive portrait of a rhino.
- The reverse depicts two halves of a rhino’s head. When two of those coins are placed next to each other, a complete close-up portrait of a rhino is visible. By placing many of these coins next to each other, a whole herd of rhinos appears.
- Rhinos (Rhinocerotidae) are native to the grasslands and tree savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa.
- Although the “gray colossi,” whose diet consists entirely of plants, seem rather cumbersome, they can reach impressive speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour. Sight is rather weak in rhinos, but they have a very fine sense of smell and can detect odors over a distance of several hundred meters under favorable wind conditions.
- Also included is a numbered certificate of authenticity from the South African Mint.
- Minted at the South African Mint.
