| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, high-relief depiction of two African elephants (Loxodonta africana) facing one another in profile against a savannah landscape, with the suggestion of a mountain range and open plains in the background. The animals are rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail, showing prominent tusks, textured hide, and characteristic ear and trunk formations. The legend AFRICAN WILDLIFE arcs along the upper border, with ELEPHANT inscribed along the lower left and the purity and weight designation 10 oz Ag 999.9 along the lower right, all separated by raised dots. The design is set within a polished inner field bordered by a fine raised rim. |
