| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic effigy of a leopard occupies the majority of the reverse field, depicted in full body, glancing back over its left shoulder with alert, piercing eyes. The animal is rendered with meticulous attention to its distinctive spotted coat and muscular form. A rocky, rugged landscape forms the background, evoking the leopard's natural habitat. The inscriptions AFRICAN WILDLIFE and LEOPARD arc along the upper and lower periphery respectively, while the fineness and weight designation 1 oz Ag 999.9 appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Somalia's wildlife coin program has run for decades with minimal connection to the country's actual monetary system — these are bullion issues produced entirely for export, struck by European mints for the international precious metals market. The Central Bank's name appears on the legal framework, but no meaningful quantity has ever circulated in Mogadishu.
KM#287 is part of a long-running annual series that swaps reverse designs with enough regularity to sustain collector demand without offering much numismatic depth.
