| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief depiction of a group of five meerkats (Suricata suricatta) clustered together in a naturalistic rocky setting, their characteristic forward-facing expressions rendered with precise sculptural detail. The legend 'Meerkats Silver Ounce 2013' curves along the upper border of the field. To the right, a stylized outline map of the African continent appears alongside the inscriptions 'AFRICA', '1oz Ag', and '.999', confirming the coin's fine silver content and weight. |
