2004 Wildlife Series Special Edition "The Leopard" 5 Coin Proof Set.
Different aspects of this unique animal are depicted as the main design element in the inner circle, with a stylized leopard image and the denomination in the outer circle completing the coin's design. The common obverse of each coin features the South African coat of arms, the words "South Africa" and the date 2004. The leopard's adaptability,elusiveness and stealth are its passport to survival, for it is at home in a wide range of habitats. Because of its extreme adaptability, the leopard's distribution is far more widespread than that of the lion and cheetah,although the leopard is probably the least encountered of African's big cats. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful of the world's big cats,the sight of an African leopard in the wild is an unforgettable experience. This extraordinary cat has been ingrained in the lives and culture of the people of Africa. There is an ancient African legend which claims that the spots of a leopard reflect the spoor of all wild animals living around it, and because of this, the leopard is capable of changing into any of these animals making it the source of life.
