| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is shown in profile, occupying the central field of the coin. The cetacean is rendered with fine engraved detail highlighting its distinctive long pectoral fins, barnacled skin texture, and characteristic body form. Gentle wave lines in the background evoke the open ocean habitat of this endangered species. The circular legend 'LE MONDE ANIMAL EN PERIL' arcs around the upper periphery, while 'MEGAPTERA NOVAEANGLIAE' is inscribed along the lower border. The date '2009' appears in the right field. |
