2025 1 oz South Africa Big Five Series III - Rhino .999 Silver BU
The third release in the Big Five Series III is this ill-tempered Black Rhinoceros struck in one Troy ounce of highly-pure 99.9% silver by the prestigious South African Mint-the same mint that brings us the iconic gold and silver Krugerrands. The obverse of this legal-tender 5-Rand coin shows a rhino getting ready to charge. The reverse features a unique bisected image of a rhino's profile. When multiple coins are placed side by side it creates a complete close-up portrait of a rhinoceros. If you dare, put on some thin white gloves, and trace your fingers across the rugged design... it almost feels like you're caressing the tawny coat of a real rhino. Additionally, the coin continues the "Easter Egg" motif of a hidden image of another animal located within the rhino's leathery hide . In this case it's a small Malachite Sunbird.
