2020 | NATURA – PALAEONTOLOGY: The rise of the Dinosaurs

A new chapter in the award-winning Natura series began with the introduction of the palaeontology theme in 2018, in recognition of South Africa’s significance to this field and study of plant and animal fossils.
The first instalment of the palaeontology-themed 24ct gold coins focused on ‘Rise of the dinosaurs – Archosauria, and as a response to popular demand, the South African Mint release the very first silver Natura coin under this theme in 2019.

The South African Mint is proud to introduce the 2020 silver Natura coin, the second ever silver coin to join the Natura series. This coin also focuses on the ‘Rise of the dinosaurs – Archosauria’ theme and bears the same image as the 2018 1oz 24ct gold coin – the Coelophysis rhodesiensis
.

The Springbok, South Africa’s national animal, was first depicted on the silver crown coins from 1947-1951 and 1953-1959. The Springbok was once again chosen for the reverse of the silver 50c (1961-1964), the gold £1 and gold £½ (1952-1960) and the gold R1 and R2 (1961-1964). It was again depicted on the 50c from 1960-1964. From 1977 to 1990, the Springbok appeared on the R1 nickel coins and from 1990 to date, on the smaller R1 in the 3rd series. The Springbok is also depicted on the reverse of our world-renowned Krugerrand.

Big 5: Rhino

2020 | BIG 5: RHINO

Order Here

The South African Mint celebrates Africa’s unique natural heritage by embodying the strength and beauty of the Big Five in this new series of fine-silver brilliant uncirculated legal tender coins.

The coins are issued every 6 months, starting with the Elephant and the Lion in 2019. The Rhino is the third of the ferocious 5 to be featured in this series. Rhinoceroses are easily recognised by their prehistoric features such as armour-like bodies and the horns on their foreheads.

Rhinos, unfortunately, face a dire threat from poaching and rank among the most endangered species on earth. Their horns are made up of the highly sought after keratin, which is used for its supposed medicinal purposes.

The “Big Five” term originated when big game hunters visited the shores of Africa to shoot for trophies, and locals warned them about the five most dangerous animals in Africa: the Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Rhino, and Buffalo.

2020 Big 5 Rhino Brilliant Uncirculated

The reverse of the coin features two halves of the rhino’s face, detailing its eye, ears and horn. This ingenious design allows for a complete close-up of a rhino to be seen only when two of the coins are placed next to each other (as seen in the double-capsule proof set).

When multiple coins are placed next to each other, a herd is formed.

2020 Big 5 Rhino Proof Set

2019-Big-Five-Rhino-Double-Capsule-reverse-01

Each reverse of the proof coins bears the design of two halves of the face of a rhino. When placed together, the reverses form a full face. The set is packaged in a revolutionary double capsule which houses the coins close enough to each other to form a full rhino face, and wide enough apart that the coins remain pristine and do not touch.
The double capsule set is packaged in a beautiful box made of walnut bark with a glossy piano finish bearing a digital print of the thick-skinned Rhinoceros on top.

Crown and Tickey

2020 I CROWN AND TICKEY – SOUTH AFRICAN INVENTIONS: RETINAL CRYOPROBE

Order Here

The 2020 Crown and Tickey series features a South African invention that has revolutionised cataract surgery. The retinal cryoprobe was developed by South African ophthalmologist and inventor, Selig Percy Amoils, at the Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa.

The cryoprobe is a pen-like instrument that delivers extremely cold liquid gas, with precision and accuracy. The cryoprobe is inserted into a cut in the eye to deliver a liquid gas , which freezes to a cataract. The cataract (or other unwanted tissue) can then be removed with no risk of destroying healthy adjacent tissue.

It has since found applications in the field of general as well as veterinary medicine.

R2 STERLING-SILVER CROWN

The reverse of this coin features the anatomy of an eye, together with the years ‘1965’ and ‘2020’, the words ‘RETINAL CRYOPROBE’, and the denomination ‘R2’.

The circle on the crown is a place holder for the smaller tickey coin which when placed onto the crown, gives the impression of a retinal cryoprobe procedure.
