Each 2024 Proof South African Silver Big Five Series III Elephant 2-Coin Set is carefully packaged inside a connected double capsule. This protective capsule is placed in a wooden display box, and each set comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The design of the two coins complements each other beautifully, with the reverse fields featuring two halves of an elephant’s face that seamlessly blend together when viewed side-by-side.

The Big Five animals are not only known for their size and strength but also for their essential roles in the African ecosystem and their cultural significance. The African bush elephant, in particular, is the largest land mammal on Earth. These magnificent creatures can grow up to 13 feet tall and weigh as much as 13,000 pounds, making them true giants of the animal kingdom.

On the obverse of the 2024 Proof South African Big Five Series III Elephant Coins, you’ll find a striking image of a bush elephant paired with South Africa’s national coat of arms. The elephant, standing tall and powerful, is an impressive sight. The coat of arms sits below the elephant, symbolizing the connection between the land and its wildlife. The elephant’s trunk is a unique feature, with over 40,000 muscles, it is used for breathing, drinking, and even picking up objects with precision.

The reverse side of the 2024 Proof Silver Big Five Series III Elephant Coins offers an up-close view of the elephant’s face. When the two coins are placed side by side, they create a complete image of the animal’s face, showcasing the artistry of the collection. This design emphasizes the connection between the two coins, making the set truly special.
