| Obverse description | A large hippopotamus depicted half-submerged in water occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief with naturalistic detail. The animal's broad head and back emerge prominently above the waterline, conveying both mass and tranquility. The legend 'SOUTH AFRICA' arcs across the upper field, with the date '2005' positioned above. The engraver's initials 'AM' appear discreetly in the lower field. The composition reflects the Natura series' characteristic emphasis on wildlife artistry within a clean, uncluttered field. |
