The Cape Buffalo is regarded as the most dangerous of Africa’s “Big Five,” capable of charging at speeds up to 35 mph. Feared and respected in equal measure, this coin captures the essence of raw power and untamed wilderness that defines Africa’s great beasts.
About the Big Five II Series
Following the success of the first Big Five release, the Big Five II Series continues to celebrate Africa’s most iconic and formidable animals — the Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Leopard, and Buffalo. Each release showcases stunning design details and limited mintages, making these coins highly sought-after among collectors and investors worldwide.
About the South African Mint
