The Natura Series
The South African Mint produces a series of "Natura" coins, starting in 1994, each of the four different sized coins bears a different attractive design based on the theme for that year. The first five years formed a series within the Natura series, known as the "Big Five". From 1999, there was a new series "Monarchs of Africa".
"The Lion - Royalty of Africa", is the second theme in the South African Mint's Natura series "The Wild Cats of Africa". Following on from "The Cheetah - Athlete of Africa" which featured in 2002, the 2003 theme portrays the king and queen of the African savannah. The obverse is a portrait of a dominant male and a dominant female. The coin with its classic features depicts the royalty of the African lion.
Fine Gold
The gold coins in the Natura series are struck in 24 carat gold, actually .9999, and are South Africa's first fine gold coins.
