The Cape or African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a typical grazer. It lives in herds of a few dozen to hundreds of animals and prefers swampy areas and shaded grasslands near water. Particularly characteristic for the buffalo are its sweeping, curved horns, which can reach a span of up to 1.50 meters. The strictly limited **Big Five II Buffalo Gold Set** is delivered in a **double coin capsule** and a noble wooden box. Also included is a numbered certificate of authenticity from the South African Mint.
