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".
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.
1999 Natura
The obverse of each of the coins features a Greater Koodoo, whilst the reverse of each coin depicts a different scene featuring a Koodoo.Designs The designs of all the Natura series are, in our opinion, very artistically created and engraved, with themes which may be bold or subtle, but which break away from more traditional coin designs, and with fine detailing and artistic expression more akin to historic medals or medallions.
