| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Côte d'Ivoire occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with an elephant head in profile, surmounted by a rising sun, and flanked on either side by two palm trees. A scroll beneath the shield bears the inscription REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE in three segments. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in large raised letters along the lower portion of the field. |

| Additional information |
Ivory Coast has issued commemorative silver under the CFA framework since the early 2000s, often licensing historical figures with no particular connection to West Africa. Schindler's inclusion in this series reflects the broader market for Holocaust-related collectibles rather than any diplomatic or educational initiative originating from Abidjan.
The coin was produced for the European collector market through a third-party minting arrangement — the Ivorian treasury lending its issuing authority while exercising no curatorial role over the subject matter.
