    The Big Five Series from The South African Mint is one of the most popular bullion coin collections on the market today. The latest release features the beautiful African elephant, which is recognized as the world’s largest land animal. With its stunning artwork and .9999 purity level, this is a coin that both collectors and investors can appreciate. Right now, 2023 1 oz South African Gold Big Five Elephant Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.

    Coin Highlights:

    • Available to you in a plastic flip or a tube of 10 coins!
    • All-new Big Five release from South Africa!
    • Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
    • The face value of 50 Rand (R50) is fully backed by South Africa.
    • An elephant in a closeup is depicted on the obverse.
    • Two halves of an elephant’s face feature in the reverse.

    All 2023 1 oz South African Big Five Elephant Coins were struck in .9999 pure gold and will arrive in BU condition. As such, few, if any, flaws will be visible upon inspection. The coins will be delivered in either flips or plastic tubes if your order is multiples of 10.

    The obverse of 2023 South African Gold Big Five Elephant Coins features an elephant in closeup. This design gives us a great glimpse of the elephant’s ears, tusks, and the upper portion of the trunk. The obverse also contains the coat of arms of South Africa, which confirms the coin’s legal tender status.

    On the reverse of the 2023 1 oz South African Gold Big Five Coin, a closeup view of two halves of an elephant’s face is shown. If you line up multiple coins horizontally, it will form a complete picture of the face. The reverse also shows inscriptions reading Fifty Rand, 1 oz, Au 999.9.

    Despite being the world’s largest land animal, African elephants are gentle and loving creatures.  They’re also incredibly intelligent, with their brains functioning at high levels across multiple areas. Their memory, for instance, is remarkable. For survival purposes, they are able to remember a wide range of routes to different food and water sources. Additionally, they have the ability to recall both fellow elephants and humans years after their last encounter with them.

    If you have any questions about these 1 oz gold coins, please feel free to ask. JM Bullion customer service is available to assist you at 800-276-6508, online using our live chat, and via our email address.

    Is my package insured while in transit?+

    JM Bullion fully insures all its shipments. Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, it will be covered by our insurance policy subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions. Please read this section of the Terms and Conditions carefully.

    If we determine the package is lost or damaged, we file a claim. We reserve the right to re-ship your items or refund your money at our discretion.

    My package appears to have been damaged or tampered with. What should I do?+

    We recommend you refuse any shipment that appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection. If you have taken possession of a damaged or tampered package, please save all packaging and contact JM Bullion at1-800-276-6508 within 48 hours for further instructions. Failure to notify us of damage or tampering within 48 hours fromsignatureor delivery date may impact our ability to cover your claim.

    When will I receive my order?+

    When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

    1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
      • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
    2. Holding period after cleared payment.
      • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
    3. Shipping method and transit time.
      • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
      • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
    What happens if my order is lost in transit?+

    All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

    Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

    See also Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions.

    What happens if my order is damaged in transit?+

    Though unlikely, if your order is damaged during transit and/or any items are missing we require you to contact JM Bullion immediately so we can begin the claims process. If you have taken possession of a shipment that is damaged and/or is missing items, you have 2 days (48 hours) from the date of delivery to contact us as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

    Orders under $1000 will not require a signature unless that option is selected and paid for at checkout. Orders over $1000 will always require a signature for delivery. Please note, per our Terms and Conditions, once a package shows delivered, our responsibility ends. Please be available and attentive to receive the package when the courier arrives. Due to COVID 19, couriers are not always getting the signature.

    Depending on your method of payment, it is possible to have your order shipped to an address other than your billing address. If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptionsUPS locations and mail forwarding locations. If you pay with a credit/debit card, it depends on your order history.

If your purchase is eligible for free shipping, the pre-selected option will be base shipping, which is either USPS, UPS, or FedEx at our choice. If you would like to upgrade your shipping, you may choose one of the other options for a small fee. Simply click on the circle next to the shipping method you desire, and your order will be shipped via that method.

    If my order includes an item on presale, will the in-stock items ship first?+

    Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

    Do you ship to US territories?+

    We do not ship to US territories. Due to special requirements set by the postal systems, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states.

    What does “No Will Call” mean?+

    All UPS 7 fedEx shipments ship with a No Will Call restriction, meaning the package cannot be picked up from a UPS or FedEx location. This is a precaution to prevent orders from being fraudulently intercepted.

    Where do you ship orders from?+

    All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.

    Do you offer UPS or FedEx shipping to Alaska and Hawaii?+

    No, we do not. The costs in shipping to these places is extremely prohibitive, so we utilize USPS on all shipments.
