These coins can be found in the 2005 STANDARD CATALOG OF WORLD COINS 32nd EDITION catalog by Chester L Krause and Clifford Mishler.

      These large legal tender coins are now one of the world's "hottest" collectibles! The Giant Black Rhinoceros Proof weighs a full kilogram of .9999 pure silver (that's over 35 ounces of pure silver), and the Giant Black Leopard Proof was struck in a half-kilogram of .9999 pure silver.

      Incredibly these proofs, the second in a series to be issued featuring different animals, are numbered 013 of 600 offered in the United States. As an important "second" issue, combined with the low mintage and popular designs, these Giant Silver Proofs will always be treasured and sought after.

Each Proof coin was multiply struck (compared to once for circulated coins) to achieve the high, sharply detailed relief, the frosted images, and the mirror-like background. And because they are so time-consuming to create, only 2,500 Proof Sets were ever minted. The Giant Silver Proofs come complete with a custom-designed wood presentation case, along with information about the animals depicted on the coins and an official Certificate of Authenticity.
