| Reverse description | A finely detailed vignette in the central field portrays a seated adult leopard facing the viewer, its characteristic spotted coat rendered with remarkable sculptural depth, accompanied by a juvenile leopard cub seated to its right. A full moon is visible in the upper right portion of the field, evoking a nocturnal savanna setting. The legend AFRICAN WILDLIFE curves along the upper border, flanked by raised dots, while LEOPARD arcs along the lower left and the silver specification 1 oz Ag 999.9 appears along the lower right, all within a recessed border ring. |

| Additional information |
Somalia's Leopard series has run as an annual silver bullion program since 2019, issued under licensing arrangements that route actual production through European mints — the coins carry Somali authority but are designed and struck abroad, primarily for the collector bullion market rather than any domestic monetary function. Each year's reverse design changes, making the series a de facto annual type collection.
KM#446 places this squarely within that sequence. The .9999 fineness is notably purer than the more common .999 standard used by most sovereign bullion programs.
