2oz Silver The Odyssey Bateleur Eagle

Description

The 2025 R10 2 oz Silver Bateleur Eagle combines dynamic wildlife artistry with deep South African heritage. The reverse showcases the Bateleur eagle in mid-flight with wings outstretched as it descends toward its prey. The design is beautifully enhanced by an ornamental background pattern inspired by traditional Isishweshwe printed cloth, symbolising the interconnectedness between humanity and nature. This side also bears the inscriptions “THE ODYSSEY,” “BATELEUR EAGLE,” the R10 face value, and the coin’s silver weight and purity (2 oz Ag 999).  The obverse displays the South African Coat of Arms, beautifully framed by geometric, Isishweshwe-inspired motifs. The lower edge of the obverse is inscribed with the year of issue, “2025,” and “SOUTH AFRICA”. Known for its distinctive rocking flight pattern (earning it the name “tightrope walker”), the Bateleur eagle is an iconic apex predator of the African savanna. This highly collectable proof coin arrives in a premium presentation case accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
