    Looks like something shot with the wrong color balance to me. Sorry I don't recognize the design.

    It looks like the head of an oryx(?) There are bullion coins with oryx heads on them. 2001southafricagoldnaturaoneouncerev400.jpg

    Thanks for the reply Jeff and Mlov43, it stands out gold from the other coins, but I do not recognize the design either.
    Here's another image

    Brilliant Dave! I think that's it. Thanks so much for you guys help.
    I was watching an auction site in S.A. that was auctioning 3 lbs. of old coins, I was able to spot 3 silver coins just on top of the pile, the bids were low for awhile then they just went crazy bidding like mad, and I could not figure out why.
    Looked at the image again and noticed the gold looking coin, and wondered if it was a real gold coin, which it does not appear to be. thank again for the help guys
