The Cheetah is the first animal portrayed on the South African Mint New Natura Coins. The reverse of the coin designed by N. van Niekerk portrays a Cheetah looking around and the obverse designed by A. L. Sutherland is a portrait of a Cheetah and a Cheetah running. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
