In 1971-72 the Franklin Mint received a commission from the East African Wild Life Society to mint twenty medals depicting wild animals that lived in East Africa.
That would be The Big Game medals.
The medals are really big! Each weights 2.1oz (65.3g) with 92.5% silver purity. The design was from sculptor Anthony Jones and they are Proof.
I have only ten of the twenty medals, but I am still looking for the others.
They will be shown in alphabetical order.
The medals are pristine, but the capsules are in bad shape and I could not find new capsules (5cm diameter).
The first is the African Buffalo.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
Very beautiful round! Could't you find capsules that size in Canada?

I looked for them in Vancouver and in Toronto, to no avail. Maybe someone can find these capsules on US and then tell me where.
