| Reverse description | A finely detailed Springbok antelope is depicted in full profile stride atop a stylised rocky outcrop with sparse acacia vegetation, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The legend 'INVESTMENT COIN BAR 2025' is prominently inscribed in two lines across the upper portion of the field. A boxed cartouche at upper right reads 'FIRST ISSUE 2025'. Below the central motif, the inscription '1g FINEST GOLD .9999' confirms the metal content and weight. At the base, a framed assayer's mark bearing the date '1845' and the legend 'melter assayer' appears alongside the refiner's name 'HEIMERLE+MEULE'. |

| Additional information |
Burundi's gold bullion program, launched in recent years, targets the fractional investment market increasingly dominated by sub-gram and one-gram issues from smaller sovereign mints competing with established names. The Springbok motif is borrowed directly from South Africa's iconic rand coinage tradition — an unusual choice for a landlocked Central African nation with no native springbok population, reflecting commercial calculation over national symbolism.
