AFRICAN OUNCE
2022 1oz FINE GOLD 999
Description:
The obverse features a highly detailed topographical map-style design of the African continent, featuring textured terrain, and rivers arranged in relief. The lower-left field highlights a finely detailed pair of pelicans — the mother standing gracefully beside her check among reeds and marsh vegetation with their distinctive long, heavy bill, throat pouch, layered feathers, folded wings, strong legs, and powerful body engraved with remarkable realism. The contrast between the frosted birds and the deep mirrored field enhances the sense of movement, all within a circle surrounded by the text identifying the series "African Ounce" left while the metal, weight and purity accompanied by the date "2022 1oz FINE GOLD 999" along the right edge.
