| Reverse description | The central field features a full-color photographic insert depicting two African bush elephants (Loxodonta africana) walking to the left across an open savanna landscape under a blue sky, with the larger tusked adult prominently in the foreground. The surrounding raised border carries the legend 'AFRICAN WILDLIFE' arcing around the upper portion, and 'TEN DOLLARS' along the lower portion, each flanked by five-pointed stars serving as separators. The milled border ring contrasts with the vivid naturalistic coloring of the central insert. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s commemorative program was prolific to the point of market saturation — dozens of wildlife-themed issues struck in silver-plated copper flooded the novelty collector trade simultaneously, most produced by European private mints under licensing arrangements with the Liberian government, which collected a fee while retaining essentially no involvement in production decisions.
