1997 The
African Buffalo Big Five Natura Gold Coins
The fourth theme in the "Big Five" series is the African Buffalo. The
buffalo looks solid and indestructible. It differs from the domestic cattle
with shorter legs and huge blackish horns growing from a large, flattened,
helmet-like plate covering and protecting the top of the head. Both sexes have
horns.
The common obverse of all four coins depicts the head of a dominant buffalo
bull.
