| Reverse description | A highly detailed, three-dimensional relief portrait of a Pygmy Hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) fills the left and lower portion of the field, depicted in close-up with its massive head turned toward the viewer. A large crescent-shaped polished panel occupies the right side of the inner field, upon which the denomination $10 and the legend PYGMY HIPPO are inscribed in an informal, naturalistic lettering style. Surrounding the central device is a broad decorative border populated with stylised rock-art silhouettes of various African wildlife, evoking cave painting traditions and reinforcing the conservation theme of the issue. |
