| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Namibia occupies the central field, featuring a heraldic shield flanked by two oryx antelopes as supporters, surmounted by an African fish eagle with wings displayed. The motto ribbon below the shield bears the legend UNITY LIBERTY JUSTICE in raised Latin lettering. The date 2009 appears beneath the coat of arms, and the curved legend REPUBLIC OF NAMIBIA arcs along the lower periphery of the field. |

| Additional information |
Namibia's wildlife coin program, launched in the early 2000s, was specifically designed to fund conservation awareness rather than general revenue — a distinction that shaped both the mintage ceilings and the distribution channels, which ran heavily through philatelic and numismatic bureaus rather than circulation. The bat-eared fox series falls squarely within that mandate.
KM#36 is among the lower-profile entries in the program, with limited secondary market documentation compared to the elephant and rhino issues from the same run.
