| Obverse description | Finely rendered bust of a sable antelope in right profile occupies the central field, its distinctive long curved ringed horns sweeping dramatically upward and dominating the composition. The subject's facial features, mane, and shoulder are rendered in high relief with meticulous naturalistic detail characteristic of the Natura proof series. The legend SOUTH AFRICA 2000 arcs along the lower portion of the field, with the engraver's initials ALS incused at the base of the design. The mirror-polished proof fields provide strong contrast against the frosted devices, enhancing the sculptural quality of the portrait. |
