| Obverse description | A highly detailed, finely sculpted portrait of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana) fills the obverse field, rendered in high relief with the animal's head facing squarely forward, its large ears spread wide and its twin tusks curving prominently downward. The naturalistic design emphasizes the texture of the elephant's wrinkled skin and the imposing scale of the subject. The legend SOUTH AFRICA curves along the lower left arc of the coin, reading upward, while the date 1996 appears to the right of the elephant's head. The engraver's initials ALS appear discreetly in the lower right field. |
