| Obverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic portrait of a male African lion in three-quarter view occupies the majority of the obverse field, its full mane rendered with fine engraving. The inscription SOUTH AFRICA appears across the lower portion of the field, partially overlaid by the lion's mane, lending a bold artistic composition. The date 2000 is inscribed in script to the upper right of the field. The engraver's initials ALS appear in the lower right field. The overall design evokes the wildlife art tradition characteristic of South African commemorative issues. |
