A partial moon disc is visible in the upper right field, evoking a nocturnal savanna setting. The legend AFRICAN WILDLIFE arcs along the upper border, while LEOPARD is inscribed along the lower left periphery. The bullion specifications 1 oz Ag 999.9 appear in the lower right field, confirming the coin's one troy ounce fine silver content. |

| Additional information |
Somalia's Leopard series has run continuously since 2012, issued under licensing arrangements that route production through European private mints while nominally bearing Somali authority — a common structure for bullion programs originating from jurisdictions with limited domestic minting infrastructure. The series competes directly in the one-ounce silver bullion market alongside the Britannia, Maple Leaf, and Libertad.
KM#464 designates the 2025 iteration. Four-nines silver purity, rather than the more common .999, is the specification that distinguishes this series from several of its competitors.
