| Obverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic portrait of a leopard's head rendered in high relief, facing forward with mouth open and fangs bared in a snarl, conveying power and alertness. The spotted coat and long whiskers are rendered with exceptional engraving detail against a mirror-polished field. To the left, the date '2014' is inscribed vertically, while a stylised African landscape with acacia branches provides context in the background. The legend 'SOUTH AFRICA' arcs across the upper field in bold raised lettering. The engraver's initials 'MJS' appear at the lower centre of the design. |

| Reverse description | Two leopards are depicted in a dramatic, naturalistic composition: a leopard cub in the foreground faces the viewer with an alert, slightly snarling expression, while a larger adult leopard is positioned behind and to the right, both rendered in exceptional high-relief engraving detail with spotted coats finely delineated. A rocky outcrop and foliage fill the background field. The word 'NATURA' appears vertically along the right border, with the denomination 'R50' prominently struck in large raised characters at the bottom centre. The fineness inscription '1/2 oz Au 999.9' appears along the upper left, and the engraver's initials 'VLC' are visible at the upper right. |
