Interesting fact
The Natura series, which features the giraffe design on the 50 Rand coin, was launched by the South African Mint in 1994 and has since become one of the most popular collectible coin series in the world. The series features a different animal design each year, and the giraffe coin was released in 2006 as part of the "Big Five" collection, which also included coins featuring the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and elephant. The coin's design is the work of renowned South African wildlife artist, Dr. Cecil Skotnes, who is known for his detailed and realistic depictions of African wildlife.
