Obverse

A giraffe is depicted on the obverse face of 2006 South African Natura Giraffe 1/4 oz Gold Coins. Here, the giraffe appears in closeup facing towards the right. Surrounding this beautiful creature are bits of foliage and an artful giraffe silhouette on the left side. You will find inscriptions also on the obverse reading SOUTH AFRICA, 2006.

Reverse

A pair of giraffes grazing on the savanna appear on the reverse of 2006 20 Rand South African Natura Giraffe Gold Coins. A circle in the background resembles a setting sun as mother and child finish their meal. You will see inscriptions on the reverse also that read NATURA, R20, 1/4 OZ AU 999.9.

History

The giraffe is a hoofed mammal and can be found in the grasslands and open woodlands of Africa. While the giraffe is known for its extremely long neck, its legs also can reach a whopping six feet in height. While their height might seem an inconvenience, it actually helps them to spot predators like lions and tigers from a distance. That, along with their strong eyesight, makes them quite capable of survival on the savanna.
