Owner's Description

As humans we often leave a negative impact on our environment but now South Africa has left an indelible impression with the first-ever UNESCO limited edition Man and the Biosphere coin series.

The overse of this sterling-silver coin depicts the Elgin Valley, once a wildlife haven for large herds of antelope and a home to San hunters and Khoi pastoralists. Early pioneers established farms in this area, from which the largest fresh-produce export industry in southern Africa developed. The valley is best known for its apples and pears, depicted on the coin by an African Honey Bee . Hills covered in orchards appear in the background.
