2026 2 oz Silver African Range Surveying Cheetah

Description

The 2026 2 oz Silver African Range Surveying Cheetah represents the premier two-ounce silver edition in the South African Mint’s landmark high-relief series, The African Range. Created in collaboration with renowned South African sculptor Dylan Lewis, this five-year program depicts the predatory journey across five distinct stages, launching with the “Survey” phase.

The reverse features a high-relief strike of a cheetah poised atop a tree trunk in a stance of focused observation before a hunt. The obverse showcases a sculpted bust of the cheetah inspired by Lewis’s “Cheetah Head” sculpture, framed by the year of issue, metal specifications, and legal tender inscriptions.
