| Obverse description | A highly detailed, large-format portrait of a cheetah's head rendered in high relief, facing left and occupying the upper portion of the field, with the animal's distinctive spotted coat and whiskers finely rendered. Below and flanking the portrait, two small cheetah cubs are depicted in motion in the lower field. The engraver's initials 'ALS' appear beneath the main portrait. The inscriptions 'SOUTH AFRICA' and '2002' are integrated into the design in a stylised script along the left and right sides respectively. |

| Reverse description | Three cheetahs depicted in a naturalistic family grouping at rest: a seated adult in the upper centre, a reclining adult in the middle ground, and a cub nestled between them, with a fourth cheetah shown walking to the right in the lower field. Sweeping curved lines suggestive of the African savannah landscape frame the composition. The series name 'NATURA' is inscribed in large stylised script across the lower portion of the field. The legend '1/4 Oz Au 999.9' appears along the upper rim, with the denomination 'R20' in stylised script to the upper right, and the engraver's initials 'AM' in the lower exergue. |
