| Obverse description | A finely detailed portrait of a giraffe's head and neck dominates the centre of the field, rendered in high relief with characteristic reticulated coat markings. To the left, the silhouette of a second giraffe is visible against the mirror-polished background. Decorative acacia branches with foliage frame the lower and right portions of the design. The date 2006 appears to the upper right of the central motif, and the engraver's initials MJS are incused below the neck. The legend SOUTH AFRICA curves along the lower rim in bold relief lettering. |

| Reverse description | A majestic adult giraffe is depicted bending its long neck downward toward a young calf standing below, evoking a tender maternal scene amid a savanna setting with acacia trees in the background. The composition captures both animals in fine naturalistic relief against a deeply mirrored field. The series name NATURA appears in stylised lettering along the upper arc of the coin. The denomination R 20 is prominently displayed in large bold numerals at the lower centre, with the specification 1/4 OZ Au 999.9 inscribed along the right rim, and the engraver's initials CM incused at the base. |
