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 first issue is dedicated to the Elephant. The motive of the silver coin shows a detailed close-up of the head of an adult elephant. The inscriptions "SOUTH AFRICA", "BIG FIVE 2021" and the South African coat of arms are also part of the design. The reverse shows two halves of an elephant's head. Placing two of these coins next to each other gives a full close-up portrait of an elephant. When several of these coins are placed next to each other, an entire herd of elephants appears.

The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is probably the largest and most impressive representative of the African animal world, which generally stands for power and strength. The "gentle giant" is characterized by its excellent memory and a very pronounced social behavior. In the wild, the elephant can live up to 60 years - but to this day the threat from poachers remains great.
