| Reverse description | A highly detailed rendering of a springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) in a walking pose is depicted at centre, standing on a rocky ground line rendered in fine relief. To the left of the animal, a circular privy mark inscribed '55th Anniv.' commemorates the 55th anniversary of the South African Krugerrand bullion coinage series. The legend 'THE AFRICAN SPRINGBOK' curves along the upper periphery, flanked by the date '2022' to the right, while the purity and weight designation '.99999 FINEST GOLD 1/2 G' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Gabon is a member of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, whose monetary policy is controlled by the BEAC — meaning Gabon issues no gold coinage through any domestic monetary necessity whatsoever. These fractional gold pieces are produced entirely for the international bullion and collector market, commissioned through private minting arrangements. The springbok is native to southern Africa, not central Africa, which tells you everything about the numismatic logic at work here.
