2025 Big Five Silver Lion Double Capsule – Series 3

Description

Engineered specifically to bring the South African Mint’s clever split-profile artwork to life, the 2025 Big Five Silver Lion Double Capsule Set houses two identical 1 oz silver proof coins within a custom dual-holding capsule. When placed side-by-side, the half-face designs on each reverse join together seamlessly to complete a vivid, full-frontal portrait of a lion.

The obverse of each coin features a powerful, detailed illustration of a male lion striding forward, accompanied by the national coat of arms and official legal tender inscriptions. Struck in pure .999 fine silver with sharp mirror-and-frost contrast, this set offers collectors a unique, ready-to-display presentation that showcases the clever visual concept behind the Big Five Series III without needing to combine separate individual releases.
