Big Five 5 Oz Completer Coin - High Relief
The unique silver coin issued by the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire for 2022 is minted from the purest 99.9% silver weighing 155.5 g (5 Oz). This five-ounce coin offers a complete look back at the highly successful five-part series The African Big Five.
The reverse side of the coin features detailed miniatures of the motifs from the African Big Five collection. The African Big Five are arranged clockwise in the order of their issue (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo). The background of the coin depicts the African wilderness and its diverse fauna. The inscription "BIG 5 AFRICA" is placed at the top edge of the coin. The weight and purity of the metal "5 Oz .999AG" and the designer's mark are included.
Big Five is a designation introduced in the late 19th century by hunters and their guides. During the colonial period, Africa was one of the favorite places to hunt large trophy animals. The Big Five were a group of animals that were the most difficult and dangerous to track and hunt.
Today, the Big Five symbolize the beauty, strength but also the vulnerability of African fauna. The animals' original territories are shrinking and their numbers are declining. Conservationists rate the populations of all these species at different levels of endangerment.
The obverse shows the national emblem of Côte d'Ivoire with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE", the year of issue "2022" and the denomination "5000 FRANCS CFA". The edge of the coin is numbered.
The coin is presented in a presentation box which includes a numbered certificate of authenticity. The mintage is limited to only 999 pieces for the whole world!
