| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a highly detailed and naturalistic portrait of a white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) depicted in left profile, rendered with exceptional sculptural relief capturing the animal's textured hide, prominent horns, and powerful musculature. The inscription SPIRIT OF AFRICA arcs prominently along the upper field, evoking the broader commemorative series to which this issue belongs. The issue year 2017 appears in the lower field.
