| Reverse description | A finely detailed bust of a howling wolf is depicted at centre-left in high relief, its head raised with mouth open, rendered with naturalistic fur texture. Radiating diagonal lines emanate from behind the wolf's head toward the upper right of the field, creating a dynamic stylistic background. The word WOLF is inscribed in a curved legend along the upper field, while the fineness and weight inscription FINE GOLD 999 0.5 g OR PUR appears along the lower field. |

| Additional information |
The Republic of the Congo has become one of several central African nations issuing small-format gold pieces through European minting partnerships — coins with no genuine domestic circulation function, produced entirely for the collector export market. The wolf has no particular national or cultural connection to the Congo basin.
