HONOURING THE MAJESTIC RHINO




                                  The rhinoceros (rhino) is the third animal featured in the Big
                                  Five coin series. An intricate design of a rhino fills up much of
                                  the surface area of the obverse of the coin, while the reverse is
                                  best viewed by placing two coins together to show a complete
                                  close-up image of the face of the rhino. When multiple coins are
                                  placed together, a herd of rhinos is formed.
                                              The rhino coin range consists of a brilliant
