| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold high-relief rendition of the African continent rendered in a textured field, overlaid at centre with a gilt circular U.A.C. (United African Countries) logo. Surrounding the continental map is a dramatic assemblage of African wildlife in fine relief, including an African elephant with prominent tusks in the lower centre, a Cape buffalo at the top, a giraffe to the upper right, a rhinoceros to the left, a hippopotamus at the lower right, a leopard at the upper left, a zebra and a snake also visible among the grouping. The incuse legend arcing along the lower border reads THE WORLD OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE, with the silver purity and weight specification inscribed to the right. |

| Additional information |
There is no issuing authority called "United African Countries" — no such political or monetary union exists. This appears to be a private mint issue using a fictional sovereign name, a practice common in the modern bullion novelty market where manufacturers require a nominal issuing authority to produce legal-tender-style coins. The actual minting and distribution almost certainly originates outside Africa entirely.
