The reverse design features two elephants in a partial close-up depiction. The inscriptions on this side are on a central circle, referring to face value, weight, metal content, and fineness. They read: “FIFTY RAND,” “1 OZ,” and “Au 999.9.”
The Big 5 Series I
The South African Mint introduced the Big 5 Series in 2019 through a limited mintage of 15,000 silver coins. The series motif refers to the five largest native animals of South Africa, almost extinct due to a long-lasting tradition of hunting before the world’s environmental efforts.
The collection debuted with the bush elephant depiction, followed by the African lion, the Rhino, the Leopard, and the Buffalo, all minted with 24k pure gold.
