2023 S.Africa 2023 R5 5oz Fine-Silver Brilliant Uncirculated Africa's Big Five - Leopard, Series II

Five ounces of .999 silver, brilliant uncirculated, 2023 R5, Big Five Series II leopard. BU is not proof: the strike is for the metal and the type, at a diameter that fills a case. The leopard at this size is a different coin from the 1 oz double proof. You see the cat. You feel the five ounces.

Large-format Big Five silver is how a Series II collection leaves the album and sits on a shelf. Silver buyers take five recognised ounces in one official piece. Collectors take the leopard year at the scale the photographs never quite prepare you for.
