Special features of the "BIG FIVE" Series


THE DESIGN 

Each issue of the series features a different animal from the Big Five. The South African coat of arms is depicted underneath. To the left is the country of issue "SOUTH AFRICA". To the right of the coat of arms is the name of the series "BIG FIVE" and the year of issue.

The reverse shows an enlarged section of the depiction of the animal on the design side. Two concentric circles are visible in the center. The inner circle shows the weight "1 oz". The outer circle shows the added value "FIFTY RAND", the element symbol for gold "Au" and the finess of the coin "999.9".

Big Five II gold coins Gold - 2021 to 2023: 
The five proof gold coins in the Big Five II sequel series were released from 2021 to 2023.

The increase in value
South Africa is rightly very proud of its extraordinary wildlife. The animals known as the "Big Five" - elephant - lion - buffalo - rhinoceros - leopard - are emblems and ambassadors of this culturally rich country. The significance of this unique coin series is correspondingly high. Beautiful motives, perfect minting quality and very small mintages are a guarantee of solid value stability. Since its launch, the "BIG FIVE SERIES" has been one of the most spectacular and sought-after coin programs worldwide.

Gold, silver and platinum proof coins offer an attractive opportunity to invest in precious metals and at the same time exploit the potential for value appreciation due to their rarity. Their limited mintages and ornate design make them highly desirable collector's items that increase in value over time. South African coins are of interest to collectors and investors alike.

A complete collection offers many advantages. Not only does it provide a comprehensive overview of a particular theme or series, it is also always a personal sense of achievement. A good and complete collection also always has a higher collector's value and is also a sensible investment for future generations.
