Comment

The first in the second series is dedicated to the Lion. The motive of the silver coin shows a detailed close-up of the head of an adult lion. The inscriptions “SOUTH AFRICA”, “BIG FIVE 2022” and the South African coat of arms are also part of the design.

Interesting fact

The African Lion coin from South Africa's Big Five Series II is made of 99.9% silver and weighs 31.107 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique lion's mane design that is made up of small, intricately arranged silver balls, giving the mane a textured and lifelike appearance. This unique feature sets the coin apart from other coins in the series and makes it a standout piece for collectors.
