| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of a galloping zebra dominates the field, rendered in fine relief with characteristic bold striping across its body. The animal faces left in a dynamic full-stride pose, set within an African savanna landscape featuring scrubland vegetation, a distant acacia tree, rolling hills, and a large setting sun with clouds along the upper field. The denomination $10 is inscribed in the lower portion of the field beneath the zebra. |

| Additional information |
Sierra Leone's "Animals of Africa" silver program, of which this piece is part, was produced entirely for the collector market — none of these coins entered circulation in the country. The Bank of Sierra Leone licensed the designs and issued authority to a European private mint, a common arrangement among smaller nations seeking seigniorage revenue from overseas numismatic buyers rather than domestic monetary use.
KM#423 is one of several dozen types in the series, most sharing identical specifications struck at the Pobjoy Mint in Surrey.
