| Reverse description | A full-bodied aardvark (Orycteropus afer) is depicted in left profile, standing on a ground line rendered in fine detail, conveying the animal's distinctive elongated snout, prominent ears, and arched back. The numeral '40' is positioned prominently in the upper field above the animal, and the denomination inscription 'DALASIS' arcs along the lower periphery in large serif lettering. The design is executed in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of the commemorative coinage of this series. |
