The Big Five is synonymous with South African wildlife. These magnificent animals have been intrinsically linked to South African currency since 1988 when they were first used on the South African banknote range.

In 2019 the South African Mint releases for the first time a series of coins which have the Big Five as it’s theme. The so called “Big 5” are the African Elephant, the Lion, the Rhino, the Leopard and the Buffalo. This stunning issue, "The Lion" is the 2nd release in the series.
