2025 1 kg Silver Odyssey Bateleur Eagle

Description

The 2025 1 kg Silver Bateleur Eagle serves as the grand, large-format inaugural release in the South African Mint’s seven-part The Odyssey of the Sky series. This ambitious collection honours Africa’s most iconic birds of prey, launching with the Bateleur eagle—a species famous for its vibrant plumage, acrobatic rocking flight, and rich significance in African tradition as a messenger and symbol of good fortune.

The reverse showcases a detailed depiction of the Bateleur eagle in flight, framed by the signature geometric African pattern along the rim that defines the series’ visual identity. Struck on a massive 100mm planchet containing one kilogram of .999 fine silver, the coin’s mirror-like proof finish and expanded surface area accentuate the intricate feathering and aerial grace of the raptor.
