| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large, richly colored close-up portrait of a leopard (Panthera pardus) occupying the majority of the field, rendered in applied polychrome enamel with vivid orange and brown tones across the feline's spotted coat, contrasting against a green foliate background suggesting natural habitat. The leopard's face is depicted frontally and slightly tilted, with detailed engraving highlighting the whiskers, open mouth with pink tongue, and piercing eyes. The upper portion of the field features a dark arc bearing the legend FÉLIDÉS in bold raised letters, with the Linnaean binomial Panthera pardus and the date 1996 inscribed beneath in smaller characters. |
