| Obverse description | A finely detailed bust of a caracal (Caracal caracal) in right profile, rendered in frosted relief against a mirror-polished field, occupying the left half of the design. The animal's characteristic long, black-tufted ears are prominently displayed, and the facial musculature and fur texture are rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail. To the right, a stylised savannah landscape with acacia trees fills the background, integrated with the bold block lettering of the legend. The engraver's initials 'AM' appear at lower left near the rim. |
