| Reverse description | A naturalistic depiction of a pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) in right-facing profile occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail on its compact, rounded body and short legs. The animal is shown walking through a ground covering of grass and low vegetation, with tufts of foliage visible to the left and right flanks. The polished field provides a stark contrast to the relief of the subject, emphasising the coin's commemorative character. The curved legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs along the upper portion of the rim in bold Latin capitals. |
