Cook Islands – 2025 – 20 Dollars – Silver Burst 5.0 Rhino 3oz silver

Description

This is already the 5th issue in this successful series. The latest issue once again shows an impressive animal that is one of the Big 5 and virtually explodes on this coin.

The species depicted is a white rhinoceros, which can be recognized by the two horns. This species is the largest rhinoceros species alive today and lives mainly in the savannahs and grasslands of Africa. An adult specimen can grow up to four meters long and weigh around 1.8 tons. It is a herbivore and feeds almost exclusively on grass. Unlike many other rhino species, it is relatively sociable and often lives in small groups. Due to intensive poaching, particularly for its horns, the white rhino is highly endangered.

Thanks to smartminting® technology, the rhino appears very realistic. Just look at the small but fine eye. The shards even reach the edge of the coin. In addition, some of them are either polished or dark textured, which gives an even better idea of the rhino’s original appearance.
