2021 | Krugerrand
Struck for the first time on 3 July 1967, with the aim of marketing South African gold, this legend in the coin industry was conceived when the concept of a legal tender gold coin linked to the daily gold price was introduced in South Africa.
The effigy of Paul Kruger, the first President of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) is depicted on the obverse. The reverse was originally designed and engraved by the famous sculptor, Coert Steynberg, and features one of South Africa’s national animal, a Springbok.

2021 | BIG 5: BUFFALO
The African Cape Buffalo is the last of the animals featured on this popular Big 5 coin series since its debut in 2019. The South African Mint celebrates Africa’s precious wildlife by embodying the strength and beauty of the Big Five in this series of legal tender coins.
African Buffalo are sociable animals with herds of up to several hundred individuals often observed. These herds might splinter into smaller units in times of drought.
Primarily preyed upon by lions, when a herd member is attacked, other Buffalos will rush to its defence. Together a number of buffalo are more than capable to ward off an attack by an entire pride of lions. A wounded buffalo bull is regarded as most dangerous by hunters, which is one of the main reasons why this animal is included into the big five. This characteristic is the origin of many hunting adventures, myths and legends.
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.
The obverse features a breath-taking design of the Cape buffalo, which fills up much of the surface area of the coin. The words ‘South Africa’, ‘Big 5 2021’ appear below the image, with the national coat-of-arms in the centre signifying its legal tender status.

2021 | BIG 5 SERIES II: ELEPHANT
The second series in the Big 5 coin range has arrived. Boasting a new coin design of Africa’s majestic five, the range will once again depict the elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo in incredible detail on the obverse and reverse sides of the coins.
The elephant symbolizes the qualities of wisdom and intelligence. For millennia, these ancient beasts have traveled the earth, moving to a rhythm beyond our understanding, their collective memory holding the history of our great continent through the ages.
The Big 5 series II collection takes on a slight variation to the animal designs we have come to know and treasure. The design on the reverse of the coins in Series II remains the same as that of the previous designs in series I. However, the common obverse of the coins take on a new look.
