Metal & Weight: Contains 1 troy oz of .9995 fine platinum, struck in Brilliant Uncirculated quality

Face Value & Legal Tender: Denominated at 20 Rand, fully backed by the Republic of South Africa

Diameter & Edge: Measures approximately 32.8 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge

Obverse: Features a stunning close-up of an African bush elephant—flared ears, prominent tusks, ornate skin texture—with the South African coat of arms below, plus the inscriptions “SOUTH AFRICA,” “BIG FIVE 2020,” and “20 RAND”

Reverse: Depicts a creative dual-elephant head motif: two halves of an elephant’s profile meet at the center, with the weight, purity, metal type, and denomination inscribed within a central circle. Designed so that placing two coins side‑by‑side creates a full portrait
