# 344 - African Animals - Part 6
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 sixth is the Leopard.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
A beautiful leopard! These medals are top.

WOW, this leopard is really very nice! 20 in a set! Ahhhh.... you will probably complete the set, LOL!!! You are THE ssg Coin Collection par excellence.
Thank you for your kind words. I hope to complete the set, but it is almost 50 years old and very difficult to find...

They were made by a man who loved his work.
A silver Zoo — i love it!
Ten beautiful African animals. They will be much better when the capsules arrive, those that I asked my daughter in Spain to buy.

Nice medals and nice size too, thanks for sharing mate, cheers.
It is a pity that the capsules don't let us see the real beautiful medals.
