| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features two conical traditional Rwandan huts rendered in fine detail at the center of the field, their thatched roofs depicted with careful linear engraving. The circular legend MOUNTAIN GORILLAS OF RWANDA ONE HUNDRED FRANCS runs along the periphery, framed by decorative dot-and-sunburst ornaments. The mirror-like proof fields provide strong contrast to the frosted design elements, enhancing the overall visual impact. The composition is symmetrical, with the paired huts serving as a cultural emblem of Rwanda's heritage alongside the gorilla conservation theme of the series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kwita Izina is Rwanda's annual gorilla naming ceremony, revived in 2005 after the genocide had decimated both the country's mountain gorilla conservation programs and the tourism infrastructure that funded them. The ceremony takes its name from a traditional Rwandan practice of naming newborn gorillas, which biologists working in the Virunga Massif had themselves adopted decades earlier. By 2010, when this coin was issued, the ceremony had become a significant international conservation event drawing foreign dignitaries and press attention to a country otherwise still rebuilding its international image.
Rwanda's numismatic output in this period leaned heavily on wildlife themes aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.
