Obverse

On its obverse side, the coin carries an official coat of arms for the Republic of Djibouti. It is accompanied by the inscriptions “REPUBLIQUE DE DJIBOUTI” and “1000 FRANCS,” along with “Ag999” and “1 kg” to verify the weight and quality of the coin’s silver content.

Reverse

A series of wilderness scenes of rhinoceros herds, along with a close-up portrait of a rhinoceros, decorate the coin’s reverse surface. At the apex of the sphere, a pair of maps of the African content frame a stylized Zulu shield design bearing the overlaid inscriptions “Big” and “3.” The inscriptions “RHINOS” and “2022” appear above and below.

History

The Big Five series represents a genuine achievement in minting technology, with a six-piece die set used to mint each of the exclusive issues in the Big Five series, making possible its remarkable and balanced pole-to-pole design work. The rhino reliefs that decorate its surface capture the mighty animal in multiple different moods and settings, and are executed with consummate skill and sympathy for their subjects’ iconic grandeur.
