2025 Elephant Gold Coin Big Five Series 1oz

A 2025 Elephant 1oz gold coin from the Big Five series by the South African Rand Refinery.

The Rand Refinery has a history of producing beautiful coins themed on the wildlife of Africa, with this series depicting the 'big five' animals which hunters considered the most prestigious targets - the Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard and Buffalo.

The 2025 coin features the African elephant, with an imposing elephant coming towards us, with a large detailed trunk and tusks on the obverse. Beneath this is the text 'SOUTH AFRICA - BIG FIVE 2025'' and the South African coat of Arms. On the reverse is a close-up image of two elephants faces with a central circle giving the value, weight and purity (999.9).

These Big Five 2025 Elephant 1oz gold coins are an interesting alternative option to the Krugerrand for fans of African coins.
