| Reverse description | Two polychrome enameled giraffes are depicted standing in a savanna landscape, rendered in naturalistic detail with their characteristic reticulated coat pattern highlighted in orange and brown. Acacia trees in green enamel flank the animals, with a snow-capped mountain rendered in blue and white enamel in the background. The legend FAUNE AFRICAINE 1996 arcs along the upper periphery, and the word GIRAFE is inscribed along the lower rim in raised Latin lettering. The colorized central motif contrasts vividly against the polished proof silver field. |
