2005 1 oz South African Natura Hippopotamus Certified Mintmark Proof Gold Coin

In addition to the renowned Gold Kruggerhands, the South African Mint produces gold coins inspired by the country’s fauna through the Natura Series.

The Natura series, introduced in 1994 by the South African Mint, was South Africa's first collection of fine gold coins crafted in 24 carats.

Amid the Giants of Africa edition, the Hippopotamus received a very realistic portrayal. The African Hippopotamus, known for its massive size and semi-aquatic nature, thrives in rivers and lakes across sub-Saharan Africa.

This coin was released in 2005, containing 1 Troy oz of 99.99% pure gold and legal tender status through an R100 face value in South Africa.

Today, SD Bullion offers 2005 1 oz South African Natura Hippopotamus Gold Coins, enhanced by a proof finish and a certified mint mark.

Coin Highlights

  • Contains 1 oz of .9999 pure gold;

  • Proof coin;

  • Produced by the South African Mint;

  • Certified mint mark;

  • Holds an R100 denomination and legal tender status in South Africa;

  • Both sides feature a Hippo design.

The Design

The obverse depicts a hippopotamus resting in a shallow water puddle, encircled by the “2005 SOUTH AFRICA” inscription and the “MAGUNPUBWE” privy mark.

The reverse portrays a combat scene with two hippos fighting with wide open mouths. It also contains inscriptions regarding the coin’s weight, metal content, purity, and face value reading “1 oz Au 999.9” and R100.”

Because it is a proof coin, the surfaces reflect a mirror-like luster, and the design elements showcase a matte finish.
