| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered and fully colored male mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is depicted seated in three-quarter view at center, holding a slender branch in its forepaws. The animal's characteristic vivid facial coloration — a red-ridged nose, blue cheek flanges, and golden-orange beard — is rendered in polychrome enamel against an antiqued silver field. The background features a lush tropical jungle setting with palm fronds, broad-leafed foliage, and tree trunks rendered in high relief, partially colored in green. The series logo JUNGLE LIFE appears incuse within a cartouche in the upper left field, while the inscription .999 FINE SILVER 1/2 OZ is engraved along the lower arc of the coin. |
