Basic Information

After more than five decades of success with the Krugerrand, South Africa is taking the Big Five coin series in an exciting new direction. Since 1967, when the first Krugerrand gold coin was minted, South Africa has established itself as a leading provider of bullion coins. The Big Five series now complements the portfolio of the Rand Refinery and the South African Mint.

The concept of the Big Five gold coins is characterised by the regular alternation of designs. Every five years, a new animal from Africa's legendary "Big Five" - elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo - appears on the coin. These magnificent animals are not only a highlight of any safari, but also a symbol of strength and connection with nature.

In the inaugural edition of the series, the elephant is depicted in amazing detail, from the texture of its skin to the gracefulness of its tusks. Buying a Big Five 2025 gold coin means acquiring a masterpiece of coinage and a piece of South African wildlife.
