| Reverse description | A fully detailed African lion (Panthera leo) stands in three-quarter frontal pose, turned slightly to the left, its maned head facing the viewer directly. The animal is depicted in a naturalistic savanna setting, standing amid rocks and sparse vegetation rendered in fine relief. The lion's musculature, mane, and claws are meticulously engraved, conveying strength and majesty. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. A beaded border encircles the design, and the deeply mirrored proof fields accentuate the sculptural quality of the relief. |
