SOUTH AFRICAN NATURA GOLD COIN (WHITE RHINOCEROUS) 2009
In continuation of the South African Mint's Natura Series of Numismatic Gold Coins, the theme called Safari Through South Africa begins in 2009 and features The White Rhinoceros to celebrate the successful 'Save the Rhino' project which saved these highly endangered species from certain extinction. Four of the world's five species of rhinos are 'Critically Endangered' and face an extreme risk of extinction in the wild. In 1970, there were around 70,000 Rhinos worldwide in total. Today there are fewer than 18,000 rhinos surviving in the wild around the world, of which 80% are found in South Africa.
