Reverse description A finely detailed high-relief depiction of a pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) standing in a naturalistic wetland habitat, its mouth open wide in a threat display. The animal is shown in full body profile facing left, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation including broad-leafed plants and reeds, with a body of water rendered in the foreground. A second pygmy hippopotamus is visible partially submerged in the water in the lower portion of the field. The legend 'PYGMY HIPPOPOTAMUS' arcs along the upper border, and the inscription '1 oz 999 FINE SILVER' appears in small text along the lower exergue.
