| 背面描述 | A Klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) is depicted in full profile, standing to the left on a rocky outcrop rendered in fine detail, conveying the animal's characteristic habitat. The denomination '10' appears in large numerals above the legend 'PULA' in the upper field. The design is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, with the animal's form finely engraved to capture naturalistic detail. |

Botswana's 1978 silver issues were produced during a period of genuine optimism — diamond revenues from the Orapa and Letlhakane mines had begun transforming one of Africa's poorest nations into a functional middle-income economy within just a decade of independence. The klipspringer series was part of a broader wildlife coinage program intended partly for international collector markets, which explains the .925 fineness and the weight specification more consistent with a proof presentation piece than circulating currency.
KM#12a distinguishes the silver striking from the cupro-nickel business strike KM#12, with the "a" suffix variant documented in both Krause and Schön confirming its separate issue classification.
