1999: "The Kudu - King of the Antelopes"
The Kudu is the epitome of grace and beauty amongst the antelope species and is
proudly portrayed on the new 1999 Natura series.
Following the worldwide successes of our Natura theme
which featured Africa’s "Big 5", the
magnificent "Kudu" was chosen as a worthy successor to tread in the
Big 5’s footsteps.
The obverses of these coins depict the Kudu with its superb set of horns. The
image of the Kudu is set in a dome, which personifies the lens of a camera. The
thorns and branches in the background are typical of the part of the Kudu’s
diet.
