Introducing the fifth and final release in the revered Big Five Series by the South African Mint: The Big Five Buffalo Double Capsule Set. Celebrating South Africa's rich wildlife heritage, this set showcases the majestic buffalo, a quintessential member of the Big Five. Each set contains two one-ounce silver coins, meticulously struck in proof quality.

The obverse features a striking portrait of a buffalo, accompanied by inscriptions of "South Africa" and "Big Five 2023," alongside the national coat-of-arms. On the reverse, two halves of a buffalo head combine to form a stunning close-up portrait, inviting collectors to assemble a virtual buffalo herd by aligning multiple coins. Known for its sweeping horns and preference for swampy habitats, the Cape buffalo has made a remarkable recovery from near-extinction due to past hunting pressures. Encased in a double coin capsule within an elegant wooden box, this strictly limited set includes a numbered certificate of authenticity, offering a captivating tribute to South Africa's iconic wildlife.
