The Big Five

Originally, Big Five was associated with the five most difficult and dangerous animals to hunt on foot. The term is now used to describe the five African animals that are considered a must-see, each magnificently impressive. Tourists fortunate enough to view them in their natural habitat report that it is one of their most exciting memories. Sadly, these five animals are endangered. However, it is hoped that this series of Silver bullion coins will help bring greater attention to their plight.

Currently, nature reserves are being set up all over Africa, providing these animals a safe habitat in which to live and thrive. Hopefully, through these and other efforts, generations to come will continue to enjoy the ability to observe and appreciate these animals in their natural habitat.

"Charismatic megafauna"

The obverse image of this 2022 Chad Big Five Africa-Shaped 1 oz Silver High Relief Coin shows a collage of the Big Five: the lion, leopard, black rhinoceros, African bush elephant, and the African buffalo. Each creature is given the proper respect with regard to their importance and their strength, and they all join together to form the shape of the African continent. The lion’s face looks out from West Africa where countries like Mauritania, Mali, and Ghana are located, with its mane extending into Northern Africa, over countries like Algeria and Morocco. The leopard stares ahead from the region of West Africa, including Benin and Nigeria, as well as Central Africa, representing countries like Cameroon and Chad. The buffalo sternly gazes over the Eastern side of North Africa, where countries such as Libya, Egypt, and Sudan are located. The elephant extends its tusks over Eastern Africa, which includes Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. Lastly, the mighty black rhino stands firm in Southern Africa, over countries like Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. There could hardly be a more appropriate presentation of these large, powerful creatures for a Big Five coin.

The obverse shows a small depiction of the Big 5 walking single file next to an African Baobab tree. The phrase "AFRICA BIG 5" is inscribed in the coin’s center, right above the Coat of arms of Chad. Other inscriptions are: "REUBLIQUE DU TCHAD . 500 FRANCS CFA . 1 OZ 999 FINE SILVER."

This highly-collectible release is certain to move quickly! There is a very limited mintage of only 5,000 for worldwide distribution. Individual coins come in a mint-issued capsule in an illustrated mint-issued Big Five shipper. Please reserve your desired quantity quickly!
