These beautiful Pure Platinum coins are part of the second release of the popular Big Five Series from the South African Mint. The collection honours the five largest animals of the African continent in unique designs: the bush elephant, the African lion, the rhino, the leopard, and the buffalo. Each of these animals is presented in a highly detailed realistic depiction.
When placed side by side with another identical platinum coin, the two halves of the animal face depicted on the reverse side of the coin form a full elephant face, another addition to the many benefits of these unique bullion items.

ABOUT THE SOUTH AFRICAN MINT
The South African Mint (SAM) was established in 1890 after the discovery of gold in the South African territory. Throughout history, the mint was annexed to the British Empire, becoming a branch of the Royal Mint from 1890 to 1923. After the independence of South Africa, it reopened officially as the South African Mint in 1941. The SAM is responsible for minting the South African rand on behalf of the South African Reserve Bank. The prestigious Rand Refinery (the first refinery in the world to market investment-grade bullion items) supplies all precious metals the mint uses. In recent years, the mint has expanded its product line, including the successful Big Five and Big Five II series.
