Beschrijving keerzijde	A highly detailed, naturalistic high-relief effigy of a common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) occupies the central field, depicted in a three-quarter frontal view amid foliage and rocky ground. The animal's thick fur, robust claws, and broad muzzle are rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The fineness and metal designation 1G .999 AU is inscribed vertically along the left field.

Aanvullende informatie	The wombat has no connection whatsoever to Ivory Coast, the CFA franc zone, or West African monetary history. This is a privately marketed bullion piece issued under a nominal CFA authority — a practice that accelerated sharply in the 2010s as Pacific and African associate mints discovered that exotic animal themes sold reliably to European collectors regardless of geographic logic. The Ivory Coast has been used repeatedly as the nominal issuing authority for such pieces, with the BCEAO having no meaningful involvement in their production or distribution.
