Description
The 2026 5 oz Silver African Range Surveying Cheetah represents a high-impact, mid-weight issue in the South African Mint’s landmark high-relief wildlife program, The African Range. Struck as a collaboration with renowned South African sculptor Dylan Lewis, this five-year series translates three-dimensional bronze animal sculpture into high-relief precious metals, capturing the hunting journey across five distinct stages.
The reverse showcases a high-relief strike of the “Surveying Cheetah,” depicting the cat perched atop a tree trunk in a stance of focused observation before a hunt. The obverse features a sculpted bust of the cheetah based on Lewis’s “Cheetah Head” sculpture, framed by official issuing inscriptions. Struck in five troy ounces of .999 fine silver across a 50mm planchet, the coin utilizes deep high-relief dies and laser-frosted textures to emphasize feline muscle contours and natural wood surfaces.
