| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic close-up portrait of a white rhinoceros head in high relief, the animal depicted with lowered horn and powerful neck musculature, occupying the right and centre of the field. A second rhinoceros is visible in the background to the right, standing amid sparse savanna vegetation, conveying a sense of natural habitat depth. The inscription 1/10 OZ Au 999.9 curves along the upper left arc of the field, denoting the coin's gold content and fineness. The series name NATURA is inscribed in bold, stylised lettering across the lower centre of the field, followed by the engraver's initials LL. The frosted sculptural relief set against the deeply mirrored proof field creates a striking chiaroscuro effect characteristic of this celebrated South African bullion series. |
