| Obverse description | A finely detailed three-quarter frontal portrait of a leopard's head dominates the field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail including spotted pelage, pronounced whiskers, and an alert, slightly open-mouthed expression. The composition is framed by a stylised foliate cartouche element at the lower left, echoing the series' characteristic Art Nouveau-inspired border motif. The legend SOUTH AFRICA, rendered in flowing cursive script, arcs across the upper field, accompanied by the date 1998 in bold upright numerals to the right. The engraver's initials ALS appear in the lower left field. The proof surface provides a deeply mirrored background that dramatically contrasts with the frosted relief of the leopard portrait. |
