| Obverse description | A highly detailed close-up portrait of an African buffalo (Cape buffalo) head occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine surface detail on the horns and muzzle. The animal faces slightly to the right, its massive curved horns and distinctive boss depicted with naturalistic precision. The South African coat of arms appears in the lower central field, flanked by the curved legend 'SOUTH AFRICA' to the left and 'BIG FIVE 2023' to the right, all inscribed along the lower periphery in raised Latin lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an artistically split composition depicting two mirrored halves of a buffalo's face emerging from the field, creating a striking symmetrical design that frames the central inscription. A raised circular cartouche at the centre bears the denomination and fineness legends in Latin lettering. The background field is enriched with flowing, sculptural detail suggestive of the animal's form, lending a dynamic artistic character to the overall design. |
