Big Five II. - Elephant - 1 Oz - Gold Coin

From the makers of the iconic Krugerrand comes a new series of 24k gold coins inspired by Africa's legendary Big 5.

This exciting new series is the first gold coin since the introduction of the 22ct Krugerrand in 1967.

Every five years a new 24ct gold Big 5 coin will be introduced, starting with the elephant, followed by the lion, rhino, leopard and finally the buffalo.

The African elephant is a symbol of strength and family unity. It is the largest living land animal and one of our most intelligent species.

The term "Big Five" originated when big game hunters came to Africa to hunt the most impressive animals for trophies before conservation efforts became a priority.
