Description from the seller
South Africa 2025 – Bateleur Eagle
2 oz Silver Proof Coin
This exceptional 2 oz silver proof coin from the South African Mint celebrates the majestic Bateleur Eagle (Terathopius ecaudatus) — a striking bird of prey and one of Africa’s most recognizable raptors.
Struck from 2 ounces of .999 fine silver in proof quality, the coin showcases the breathtaking detail and mirror-like brilliance that have made the Big Five Series II one of the most acclaimed wildlife collections in modern numismatics.
The Bateleur Eagle, known for its short tail, vivid plumage, and effortless soaring, symbolizes strength, precision, and freedom. This proof issue captures the bird’s proud spirit through meticulous engraving and perfect contrast between frosted and polished surfaces.

Proof silver coins may display minor surface marks, micro-scratches, or light toning due to the natural properties of silver and the minting process.
These are typical for proof-quality coins and do not reduce the collectible or market value of the item.
