| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed, finely engraved portrait of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in three-quarter view, with its trunk raised and prominent tusks visible in the lower field. The elephant's textured hide is rendered with exceptional naturalistic relief characteristic of proof coinage. Behind the subject, a stylized outline map of the African continent occupies the background field. The legend BIG FIVE arcs along the left rim, and the date 2018 is inscribed in the upper central field above the elephant's head. |
