South Africa is justifiably proud of its extraordinary wildlife. The animals known as "Big Five" - Elephant - Lion - Buffalo - Rhino - Leopard - are landmarks and ambassadors of this culturally rich country and represent the African fauna. The **Big Five gold coin** features a full-body depiction of a full-grown **elephant**. The reverse shows two halves of an elephant's head. If you place two of these coins next to each other, you get a complete close-up portrait of an elephant. If several of these coins are placed next to each other, a whole herd of elephants can be seen. In the center, the denomination "FIFTY RAND", the weight "1OZ" and the fineness "Au 999.9" are shown. A special feature is the filigree engraving of a yellow-billed oxpecker (Buphagus africanus), which points to the importance of an integrated ecology and is found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is probably the largest and most impressive representative of the African animal kingdom and is generally regarded as a symbol of power and strength. The “gentle giant” is characterized by its excellent memory and very pronounced social behaviour. The second coin in this set features the **classic Krugerrand** design and a **Privy Mark with an elephant**. Like all Krugerrand coins the reverse shows the portrait of South Africas first President Paul Kruger. This **exclusive special edition is limited to only 100 sets worldwide** and is delivered in the original wooden box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the South African Mint.
