| Obverse description | A finely detailed high-relief portrait of a male African lion (Panthera leo) facing three-quarters to the right occupies the central field, its luxuriant mane rendered with exceptional engraving detail by Arthur Sutherland. The legend SOUTH AFRICA curves along the lower portion of the field, partially overlaid by the lion's mane, lending a dynamic, naturalistic composition to the design. The date 2000 appears in script-style numerals at the upper right of the field. The engraver's initials ALS are visible in the lower right field. The mirror-finish proof fields provide strong contrast against the frosted relief of the lion's portrait. |
