| Obverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief rendering of a white rhinoceros in full profile, facing right with head lowered in a charging posture, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The animal is depicted with exceptional naturalistic detail, emphasizing the texture of the hide, prominent horn, and powerful musculature against a savanna landscape with rocky outcroppings in the background. The South African coat of arms, rendered in miniature, appears at the bottom centre of the field. The curved legend SOUTH AFRICA is inscribed along the lower left rim, and BIG FIVE 2025 along the lower right rim, with engraver's initials PB visible in the right field. |
