| Reverse description | A large tropical fish, depicted with a vivid holographic colour application in shades of turquoise, yellow, and pink with bold black fin markings, occupies the central field. The hologram creates an iridescent, shifting colour effect across the body of the fish, evoking the shimmering appearance of a living marine specimen. A stylised wave line in the lower field suggests an aquatic environment. The legend WILDLIFE PROTECTION 2005 arcs along the upper periphery in incuse lettering against the smooth mirrored field. |

| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued commemorative silver under the Banque Centrale du Congo since the early 2000s, many produced by European mints for the collector market rather than domestic circulation. KM#180a is the silver variant of a base-metal type, distinguished by the .925 fineness — a detail that matters when sorting through the muddled catalog of Congo fish-series issues, several of which share design families but differ sharply in composition and mintage.
