In 2006 the South African Mint released a very special Limited Issue Prestige Natura Giraffe Gold Proof 4 Coin Set all struck in solid fine 999.9 Gold and includes the 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz coins and is the second in the series of Giants of Africa series.

To continue the theme of 'Giants of Africa' series the 2006 coins depict the Giraffe the tallest land mammal in the world.
The Giraffe's scientific name Camelopardalis indicates a resemblance to both camel (size) and leopard (spots). The body is covered in large, irregularly shaped patches of colour divided from one another by a network of light coloured, off-white or yellowish-white bands, which tend to darken with age. Giraffe have 'horns' which are not true horns, but knobs covered with skin and hair above the eyes to protect the head from blows.

The Giraffe is characterized by a very long neck, which has seven cervical vertebrae, except the Giraffe's vertebrae are each 30cm long. They have a mane of short stiff hair.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
