Numismatic Visual often reflects the numismatic tastes of those who write here, without forgetting the ones that I know are most popular. In many occasions I do not inform you about new issues of currency that I recognize of great beauty, but that for some reason do not fall within my tastes. Like all collectors, which is what I am, my tastes are beginning to evolve and the coins that I will show you next has a lot to do with this.
I just met a new series of coins, composed of an ounce of silver and issued by the South African Mint, called The Big Five (The Big Five) that has left me speechless, I love these pieces and I will try to make me the collection. Let's meet them.
The Big Five is synonymous with South African wildlife. These magnificent animals have been intrinsically linked to the South African currency since 1988, when they were used for the first time in the South African banknote family. In 2019, the South African Mint launches for the first time a series of coins that have the Big Five as their theme. The so-called "Big Five" are the lion, the African elephant, the rhinoceros, the leopard and the buffalo. All coins in the series are composed of one ounce of 99.9% pure silver.
