With the release of the Big Five II Series, the legacy of a cherished classic is perpetuated by the South African Mint.Representing the renowned “Big Five” – Elephant, Lion, Buffalo, Rhino, and Leopard.
The Lion takes center stage as the second issue in this series. Featuring a detailed close-up of an adult lion’s head, adorned with inscriptions like “SOUTH AFRICA” and “BIG FIVE 2022”, alongside the South African coat of arms, the design is showcased. On the reverse, two halves of a lion’s head unite to form a full close-up portrait, with the illusion of an entire lion herd created by multiple coins. The coin displays the denomination “FIVE RAND”, weight “1OZ”, and fineness “Ag 999” at its center.
The African lion (Panthera leo) holds the esteemed title of the largest and most significant land predator on the continent. Revered as the “king of animals”, power and dominance are symbolized by the lion, resonating through old tales and folklore. Its mighty roar, audible up to 8 kilometers away, serves as a means of communication within the pride.
