2026 1 kg Silver Odyssey Marshal Eagle

Description

The 2026 1 kg Silver Martial Eagle represents an extraordinary, large-format release in the South African Mint’s Odyssey of the Sky series. Following the inaugural Bateleur Eagle issue, this second chapter honours Africa’s largest bird of prey, celebrated across African folklore as a symbol of power, vigilance, and protection.
