Owner's Description

This stunning and "impossible" coin has an official mintage figure of only 1 808. The obverse very aptly depicts the breaching southern right (a Baleen whale) a sight often seen off our southern coastline. These whales were hunted almost into extinction until whaling was officially banned in South Africa as late as 1979. To Date (2017) a total of 16 coins have been graded at NGC with only this one being graded PF70 Ultra Cameo. Pop 1 of 1.
