| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief depiction of a female African elephant standing protectively beside her calf, both rendered amid tufts of savannah grass in the foreground. An acacia tree extends across the upper right field, contributing to the atmospheric African landscape setting. To the upper left, a stylised sunburst radiates from a circular motif enclosing the word 'OF', forming part of the series legend 'SPIRIT OF AFRICA' inscribed in a curved arc along the left field. The date '2016' appears in the right field, and the purity and weight designation '1 OZ AG .999' is inscribed along the upper right rim. The coin displays an antiqued matte finish enhancing the sculptural quality of the design. |
