| Obverse description | A bird of paradise depicted in the central field, rendered in polychrome colour against a yellow centre surrounded by a blue ring. The legend GABONESE appears prominently, with the denomination 1 RAND and the date 2020 inscribed within the design. The overall composition combines vivid colour application with a decorative border treatment typical of modern fantasy coin issues. |

| Additional information |
Gabon has never used the rand. The rand is the currency of South Africa, issued by the South African Reserve Bank. No legitimate Gabonese coinage carries this denomination — Gabon uses the Central African CFA franc, tied to the French Treasury since 1945. This piece is almost certainly a fantasy coin or novelty strike with no official issuing authority behind it.
