The term “Big Five” refers to five iconic large African mammal species that were historically sought after by big-game hunters. The concept originated during the colonial era and became popular among trophy hunters who considered these animals the most challenging and prestigious to hunt on foot. Introduced in 2019 by the South African Mint, the Big Five Series bullion coins celebrate the history and importance of these creatures. Today, 2024 1 oz South African Big Five Series III Lion Silver Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
While the historical concept of the Big Five originated from hunting, modern conservation efforts focus on protecting these species and their habitats. Today, many tourists visit Africa to see these incredible animals in their natural environment and contribute to the conservation of these iconic species.
All 2024 1 oz South African Big Five Series III Lion Silver Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are housed in plastic capsules and sealed in blisterpacks with details about the series and the African Lion species. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with each coin.
On the obverse of 2024 South African Big Five Lion Silver Coins, you will find a mighty, roaring lion. The massive male lion is standing with one paw raised as it looks to its left and roars. The national coat of arms is featured beneath the lion on the edge of the field.
The reverse side of the 2024 1 oz Big Five Series III Lion Silver Coin comes with a depiction of two lion heads. These two heads come together at the center of the coin where the identifying hallmarks are included. If you purchase two of the African Lion Silver Coins and place them side by side, the effect of the design comes full circle by forming a full lion head across the two coins.
