2026 Big Five Silver Leopard Double Capsule – Series 3

Description

The 2026 Big Five 1 oz Silver Leopard Double Capsule Set is specifically created to display the South African Mint’s clever split-profile reverse design. Housing two identical 1 oz silver proof coins side-by-side in a custom dual-holding capsule, the set allows collectors to showcase both coin faces simultaneously or align the two reverse halves to create a complete, uninterrupted portrait of an African leopard.

The obverse of each coin features a detailed depiction of a leopard standing atop a rocky outcrop with its head turned to scan the bushveld, accompanied by South Africa’s coat of arms and official legal tender inscriptions. The reverse features the series’ signature split-profile design with the central weight, purity, and face value markings. Struck in two troy ounces of .999 fine silver with high-contrast mirror fields and frosted relief elements, this issue serves as a dedicated presentation format for the Big Five Series III.
