With the release of the Big Five II Series, the South African Mint continues the success story of a coveted classic. Again, the series contains a total of five coins, all dedicated to South Africa's impressive nature. The animals known as the "Big Five"—Elephant – Lion – Buffalo – Rhinoceros – Leopard – are considered emblems and ambassadors of this culturally rich country and represent African wildlife. The importance of this series of coins is therefore great. The first issue is dedicated to the elephant. The motif of the 1 oz gold coin shows a detailed close-up of the head of an adult elephant. The inscriptions "SOUTH AFRICA", "BIG FIVE" and the South African coat of arms are also part of the design. The reverse side shows two halves of an elephant's head. By placing two of these coins next to each other, you get a full close-up portrait of an elephant. When several of these coins are placed next to each other, a whole herd of elephants appears. In the middle, the value "FIFTY RAND", the weight "1OZ" and the fineness "Au 999.9" are displayed. The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is probably the largest and most impressive representative of the African animal world, which generally stands as a symbol of power and strength. The "gentle giant" is characterized by its excellent memory and a very pronounced social behavior. In the wild, the elephant can live up to 60 years, but to this day the threat of poachers remains high.

Why buy gold at Holland Gold?

Gold offers protection in times of inflation
Gold offers protection in times of inflation
In the long term, gold retains its value, while currencies lose a lot of purchasing power. An example of the value retention of gold is that 2,000 years ago you could buy a tailor-made suit for one gold coin and that is still the case today.
Gold is an insurance against a systemic risk

The gold reserves at central banks act as the backing of a money system. According to DNB, gold is an 'anchor of trust': "If the entire financial system collapses, the gold supply provides collateral to start over."
Gold is a mainstay in the investment portfolio
