In 1998 to celebrate the Leopard, the South African Mint released a very Limited Issue Natura Leopard Gold Proof Coin struck in solid Fine 999.9 Gold weighing one ounce of pure Gold which is the last in the Natura Big 5 series.
The obverse design of the Leopard Gold Proof 1oz Coin depicts a Leopard lazily lying in a tree - a very familiar picture as leopards are much more at home in trees than any other African Cat.
The obverse shows the growling, fierce countenance of this powerful and solitary predator. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
