| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved close-up composition of two giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) filling the square field, rendered in exceptional naturalistic detail with textured fur. The larger panda faces forward with a bamboo shoot held in its mouth, while a younger panda rests alongside it with head bowed. In the upper left corner, a small circled legend reading '1st' identifies this as the first issue in the series. The overall design is executed in proof quality with frosted relief against a polished field, conveying an intimate and lifelike portrait of the animals. |

| Additional information |
Gabon's CFA franc is issued under the authority of the BEAC, the common central bank for six Central African states, which means Gabon itself has no independent monetary policy — making these small legal-tender collector issues effectively the closest thing the country produces to a sovereign numismatic statement. At 0.311 g of .9999 gold, the planchet contains almost exactly 1/100th of a troy ounce.
