{{/presale}}Following the remarkable success of the platinum release within the renowned Big Five Series, the South African Mint has returned with brand new platinum coins featuring the majestic African elephant. As one of the largest land animals on Earth, the African elephant has unfortunately seen its population decline by 90% in the past century due to the ivory trade. Now, you have the incredible opportunity to honor this magnificent creature by acquiring the 2023 South African Big Five Elephant 1 oz Platinum Coin, offered at Provident Metals.

History
The Big Five Series is a heartfelt tribute to Africa’s five iconic animals: the elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhinoceros. Beginning its journey in 2019 with silver coins, this series has now expanded to include gold and platinum editions, like the coin you’re exploring here. Unfortunately, these remarkable creatures are now considered endangered species. Specifically, elephants are at risk, with as few as 40,000-50,000 remaining in their natural habitat.
