2025 Cook Islands 3 Ounce Silver Burst Rhino UHR Silver Proof Coin The 2025 Rhino is the 5th issue in this highly successful series. The latest issue once again shows an impressive animal that is part of the African Big 5 and it virtually explodes on this ultra high relief silver coin. The species depicted is a white rhinoceros, which can be recognized by the two horns. This species is the largest rhinoceros species alive today and lives mainly in the savannahs and grasslands of Africa. An adult specimen can grow up to four meters long and weigh around 1.8 tons. It is a herbivore and feeds almost exclusively on grass. Unlike many other rhino species, it is relatively sociable and often lives in small groups. Due to intensive poaching, particularly for its horns, the white rhino is highly endangered. Thanks to smartminting® technology, the rhino appears very realistic. Just look at the small but fine eye. The shards even reach the edge of the coin. In addition, some of them are either polished or dark textured, which gives an even better idea of the rhino’s original appearance.
