The South African Mint is very pleased to announce the third release of this remarkable 5-coin series, featuring five of the most widely known African animals. The Big Five series will ultimately feature an elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, and buffalo. This highly unique series is absolutely a must-have for fine bullion collectors. The new 2020 1oz Silver Rhino Proof Set with Krugerrand Rhino Privy is a powerful example!
As part of the series, for this year's Rhino release, the mint is introducing this ultra-limited double-coin Proof set that includes one proof Big Five Rhino and a proof Krugerrand displaying a Rhino privy. This is a great addition to the overall South African Big Five series.
Originally, Big Five was associated with the five most difficult and dangerous animals to hunt on foot. The term is now used to describe the five African animals that are considered a must-see, each magnificently impressive. Tourists fortunate enough to view them in their natural habitat report that it is one of their most exciting memories. Sadly, these five animals are endangered. However, it is hoped that this series of bullion coins will help bring greater attention to their plight.
Currently, nature reserves are being set up all over Africa, providing these animals a safe habitat in which to live and thrive. Hopefully, through these and other efforts, generations to come will continue to enjoy the ability to observe and appreciate these animals in their natural habitat.
This very special proof set displays together with the wild magnificence of the Big Five Rhino proof edition alongside the elegant beauty of the silver proof Krugerrand featuring a rhino privy on the reverse. Both coins are encapsulated and presented in a very handsome wooden display box with a Certificate of Authentication.
The South African Big Five series design has been extremely well-received by the global precious metals community. This highly-collectible Proof Set is certain to move quickly! There is an ultra-limited mintage of only 1,000 for worldwide distribution. You should not delay on this one!
