The legendary Krugerrand – the world’s first modern bullion coin since 1967 – gets a wildlife twist with the Big 5 Series II Buffalo privy, celebrating the mighty Cape Buffalo, one of Africa’s “Dangerous Game” icons known for its unpredictable strength and herd loyalty. This 2023 release concludes the series (Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Leopard, Buffalo) with a laser-etched privy mark that’s boldly visible, tying it seamlessly to the acclaimed Big 5 wildlife coins. As an NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo FDI, this is a top-pop rarity from the 1,000-mintage run – scarcer than most modern proofs and already commanding premiums on secondary markets. Ideal for silver stackers, African wildlife enthusiasts, or Krugerrand completists. History shows these low-mintage privies skyrocket in value – don’t miss the final Buffalo!
