Silver Rhino 2015 Proof | Evolution | 1 Oz 9999 Ag Proof w/ COA & FF

Strong, beautiful, worth protecting: Hardly any animal on this planet impresses people as lastingly as the rhinoceros. We dedicated the debut motif of the first valuable silver coin from Le Grand Mint to the noble colossus. For collectors, connoisseurs, savers and investors, the brand new piece of money is a safe investment with an ever-increasing value. "Per Aspera ad Astra", this is the inscription emblazoned on the 25 livres/lira/pounds silver bullion from Le Grand Mint: "By rough paths one reaches the stars", means the ancient saying. With this, too, we at Le Grand Mint are sending a clear signal against fear in our time, which is characterized by crises, environmental destruction and wars.

Rhinos have been an integral part of creative thought in contemporary art and culture for centuries. Due to its enormous physique, it stands for power, harmony and harmony with the environment. No creature on this planet leaves an image in people's minds quite like the rhino, whether as a lasting example of something worth protecting or as the inspiration for some of the world's most treasured oil paintings.

A masterpiece of nature, which defends its territory, loves the family and follows an evolutionary path that cannot be told in a more exciting way. It is an image of natural durability with a perfect biological blueprint.

Rhinos are a very old group in geological terms. Fossils document the existence of primeval rhinos from the Eocene (about 50 million years ago).
