2021 South Africa 1 oz Proof Gold Big 5 Buffalo NGC PF 70 FD Tumi Tsehlo (w/Box)
The 2021 South Africa 1 oz Proof Gold Big 5 Buffalo NGC PF 70 FD – Tumi Tsehlo Signature (w/Box) marks the fifth and final issue in the prestigious Big Five Series from the renowned South African Mint. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 pure gold, this exceptional proof coin arrives in flawless PF 70 condition, certified by NGC with the coveted First Day of Issue (FD) designation. Encapsulated with an exclusive Big 5 label signed by Mint Director Tumi Tsehlo, the coin is presented in its original display box. With an extremely limited mintage of just 500 pieces worldwide, this release stands as one of the rarest and most desirable offerings in the entire Big Five program.
The Big Five Series celebrates South Africa’s most iconic and culturally significant wildlife: the Elephant, Lion, Buffalo, Rhino, and Leopard. The 2021 release pays tribute to the Cape Buffalo, a powerful grazer known for its sweeping horns, herd migrations, and remarkable resilience. Once heavily threatened by overhunting, buffalo populations have since recovered, making the animal a symbol of both strength and perseverance.
