| Obverse description | A large African elephant rendered in left three-quarter facing portrait dominates the field, its tusks and outstretched ears depicted in fine sculptural relief. Below and to the right, a frieze of three smaller elephants in silhouette style advances across the lower portion of the coin, suggesting depth and movement. The curved legend 'South Africa' is inscribed in an artistic script across the central field, with the date '2008' appearing at the top of the coin. The engraver's initials 'CM' appear at lower left. The design is executed in high-relief proof finish against a mirror field. |
