| Reverse description | A highly detailed, full-color portrait of a male lion fills virtually the entire field, depicted en face with its broad mane rendered in naturalistic tones of amber, brown, and ochre against an antiqued silver background. The lion's piercing eyes, prominent whiskers, and textured fur are executed with exceptional realism through selective coloring applied over a finely minted relief surface. The series title THE AFRICAN BIG FIVE arcs along the upper border in stylized serif lettering. The purity and weight designation 1oz Ag .999 appears vertically at the right field, while the date 2014 is inscribed in relief at the lower center. |
