| 裏面の説明 | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic scene depicting two gerenuk (Litocranius walleri) in a savanna landscape: a recumbent female to the left and a standing male to the right, its characteristic elongated neck and lyre-shaped horns rendered with precision. Tall palm trees occupy the left field, with low vegetation and rocky ground beneath the animals. The binomial scientific name LITOCRANIUS WALLERI is inscribed vertically along the right margin in raised letters. The composition fills the rectangular flan to its raised border, with a proof-quality mirror field enhancing the sculptural relief. |

The gerenuk — a long-necked East African antelope — has no native range anywhere near the Republic of the Congo, which borders the Atlantic coast of Central Africa. Its appearance here reflects the wave of wildlife-themed legal tender programs that swept through small African nations in the late 1990s, where foreign minting houses contracted with governments to produce collector coins targeting the European and American numismatic market. The issuing country collected a licensing fee; the coin rarely, if ever, circulated.
The rectangular format is the tell — a deliberate production choice to distinguish the piece as a collectible object rather than circulating currency.
