| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a bold frontal depiction of an African bull elephant rendered in high relief with selective rose gold plating, standing amid a rocky savanna landscape. Stars flank the central motif along the inner border, with a circular '20th Anniv.' commemorative cartouche positioned to the lower left. The arc legend INVESTMENT STARS curves prominently along the upper rim, flanked by star devices, while the year 2025 appears to the upper right of the elephant. The inscription 1/2 G. 9999 FINEST GOLD is engraved in a straight legend along the lower rim, confirming the coin's weight and fineness. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Burundi has no domestic gold mining industry to speak of, and the Bank of the Republic of Burundi has increasingly relied on foreign minting contracts — primarily Swiss and Belgian facilities — to produce its commemorative bullion program. The 0.5g format places this squarely in the micro-gold category that emerged after 2010 as mints sought entry-level bullion products for gift and novelty markets rather than investment accumulation.
The selective rose gold plating requires a secondary electroplating pass after striking, a process that occasionally produces adhesion inconsistencies at the plating boundary on small-diameter pieces.
