The series title AFRICAN PRIDE arcs across the upper field. To the left, a circular AP series logo is accompanied by the date 2016 below it. Along the lower portion of the field, the inscription 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD identifies the coin's weight and purity. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader wave of fractional gold issues targeting the collector market rather than circulation, these tiny Tanzania-branded pieces are produced by private minting houses under licensing arrangements — the Bank of Tanzania's involvement is nominal at best. The "African Pride" wildlife series was designed primarily for European and Asian retail distribution through coin dealers and precious metal shops.
