| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) rendered in high relief against a mirror-like field, with one animal shown in a quadrupedal stance facing left and the second positioned to the right in a seated posture, both set before a stylised wooden cage or fence structure evoking captivity or habitat threat. Sparse foliage appears at the base of the composition. The species name CERCOCEBUS ATYS arcs along the upper rim flanked by two raised dots, while the conservation legend LE MONDE ANIMAL EN PERIL curves along the lower rim. The date 2013 is inscribed in the lower exergue beneath the central design. |
