The Eland is an African antelope known for its size and magnificent spiral horns. Adult males are just over five feet tall, while females tend to be between four and five feet. Elands usually occupy the eastern and southern parts of Africa, where they subsist on seeds, grasses, and leaves as part of their herbivorous diet. The lifespan of an Eland is about 8-10 years and the population as a whole is currently listed as Least Concern.
Each 2007 1/4 oz South African Gold Natura Eland Coin is recognized as legal tender by the South African Reserve Bank. The coins were minted in .9999 pure gold by The South African Mint and later were sent to NGC for certification. These coins have been designated as Ultra Cameo, which means they contain a striking level of frost that contrasts with the polished fields. They have also received a perfect grade of Proof 70. The coins will arrive in special slabs with a label bearing the official grading details.
