The SARB revealed that the new-look R5 coin provides a fitting culmination of the Big 5 Series II range.



Series II coins, like Series I, are available in gold, platinum, and silver.

“Series II made its mark in 2021 with a significant design refresh while maintaining the high craftsmanship associated with the Big 5 series, and the Buffalo coin exemplifies this exceptional design aesthetic,” said SA Mint managing director Honey Mamabolo.

The SA Mint explained that the buffalo, also known as the warrior, is a symbol of fertility and aggression.Mamabolo said the impact is evident through the transformational effect that the buffalo has on the African environment.
