| Obverse description | The obverse presents a highly detailed, photorealistic depiction of a young lioness drinking from a still body of water against an expansive African savannah backdrop, with acacia trees and distant hills rendered in fine relief. The lioness is shown in three-quarter view facing downward toward the waterline, her reflection mirrored with great artistry in the calm surface below. In the upper right field, a circular inset bears the Tanzanian national coat of arms flanked by the legend TANZANIA above and the denomination 3000 SHILLINGS below. The date 2022 appears in the upper field above the scene. The mirror reflection in the lower half subtly echoes the coat of arms as well, creating a compositional symmetry of exceptional technical execution. |
