The pattern is interrupted by a beautiful zebra seen from above and making a concave trail as it walks through the lines.
The optical illusion will also show some colours when looking at the design, even though the coin is not coloured.
At the bottom of the Reverse on the outer periphery is the inscription: “2023” – (the year of issue).
The Obverse of the $20 (Twenty Dollars) Silver Proof Coin features an abstract pattern at the bottom, transforming into an animalier pattern at the top and symbolizing the camouflage of nature.
