| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a finely detailed high-relief rendering of a Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) facing left in a dynamic, lowered-head posture against a deeply mirrored field, set within a stylised landscape with an acacia tree in the upper background. The scientific name DICEROS BICORNIS appears in the right field, while the date 2010 and the country name SOUTH AFRICA are inscribed in the lower portion of the design, partially overlaid by the animal figure. The engraver's initials CM appear in the lower left field. The composition is characteristic of the Natura series, employing frosted relief against polished proof fields to achieve a dramatic cameo contrast. |
