Comment

A special feature yet, in the grass beneath the Springbok hiding is the representation of the other animal. In 2010 a lion and in 2011 an ox (/. the head standing on).The 2010 Edition is equipped also with a Privimark "1st ed". Also the 2011 ounce is equipped with a Privy mark "50th Anniv." and to commemorate the first-time appearance of the Springbok motif on a gold coin. (see history) 2011 reduced the diameter from 40 mm to 38, 6 mm.

Interesting fact

The 50 Kwacha (Springbok) 2011 coin from Malawi is unique in that it features a Springbok antelope, which is not a commonly featured animal on coins.
