# 341 - African Animals - Part 5
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 fifth is the Kongoni Hartebeests.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
It is a beautiful animal. Do you intend to show us all the animals if you find the proper capsules?

Great idea! As soon as I receive the capsules, I will post all of them together.

Do you know what Kongoni means?

It is a Swahili word that nominates this antelope.
