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
uncirculated (BU) quality coin struck from
999.9 Ag fine silver and a proof-quality
version of the same, the latter only
available in a double-capsule set.
The range also includes a 1 oz
24-ct proof gold coin, a 1 oz proof
platinum coin, as well as two
combination sets: the Big Five
rhino 1 oz proof silver Ag 999
and Krugerrand privy-marked
1 oz proof silver Ag 999
set, and the Big Five rhino
1 oz 24-ct proof gold and
Krugerrand privy-marked
1 oz 22-ct proof gold set.
The Big Five rhino coins
were released at the World
Money Fair in Berlin in
February, and the leopard
coin will be released later in
2020.
Customers around the world
have responded extremely
positively to the Big Five coin
range, and demand exceeds supply.
