# 334 - African Animals - Part 2

in steemsilvergold •  6 years ago  (edited)

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 second is the Black Rhinoceros.

A beautiful animal that is on verge of extintion.

They are killed because of the horn. They say that its powder has aphrodisiac qualities.

I can see a logo of an elephant if I am right

Where do you see this logo? I can't find it.
