Originally coined by game hunters, the term “Big 5” refers to the top five most difficult African animals to hunt on foot: the African lion, leopard, black rhinoceros, African bush elephant, and the African buffalo. Each of these Big 5 animals can be characterized as “Charismatic megafauna”, which are large animal species with symbolic value or widespread popular appeal. Charismatic megafauna is often used by environmental activists to gain public support for environmentalist goals, such as the preservation of habitats and the conservation of various animal species.

The obverse shows a small depiction of the Big 5 walking single file next to an African Baobab tree. The phrase “AFRICA BIG 5” is inscribed in the coin’s center, right above the Coat of arms of Chad. The weight, purity, and denomination are also shown on the obverse.

The reverse displays a gorgeous collage of the Big 5 animals, uniquely shaped to form the continent of Africa. The lion’s face looks out from West Africa where countries like Mauritania, Mali, and Ghana are located, with its mane extending into Northern Africa, over countries like Algeria and Morocco. The leopard stares ahead from the region of West Africa, including Benin and Nigeria, as well as Central Africa, representing countries like Cameroon and Chad. The buffalo sternly gazes over the Eastern side of North Africa, where countries such as Libya, Egypt, and Sudan are located. The elephant extends its tusks over Eastern Africa, which includes Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. Lastly, the mighty black rhino stands firm in Southern Africa, over countries like Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
