The South African Mint produces a series of "Natura" coins, starting in 1994, each of the four different sized coins bears a different attractive design based on the theme for that year. The first five years formed a series within the Natura series, known as the "Big Five". From 1999, there was a new series "Monarchs of Africa".
Fine Gold The gold coins in the Natura series are struck in 24 carat gold, actually .9999, and are South Africa's first fine gold coins.
Natura Proof Sets We list the complete Natura proof sets on their own page, this page is for individual Natura coins...
Individual Natura Proofs Although we do not have a complete list of which coins have been issued individually, or why, we will list on this page any individual Natura proofs we acquire. Individual proof Naturas provide a relatively inexpensive way of buying these beautiful artistically sculptured coins.
