| Reverse description | A highly detailed, close-up portrait of a panther's face is rendered in bold high relief, filling the entire coin field with dramatic sculptural depth. The animal's fierce expression is captured with open jaws revealing teeth, intense forward-facing eyes, and finely engraved fur texture across the muzzle, cheeks, and brow. The legend 'THE PANTHER' arcs along the lower left periphery, with the date '2013' inscribed at the lower right. The antique finish accentuates the depth and detail of the naturalistic design, creating strong contrast between the raised devices and the recessed field. |

| Additional information |
The Ivory Coast has no historical connection to the CFA coinage program's wildlife issues — these were struck specifically for the collector market, with distribution handled almost entirely through European dealers rather than through West African banking channels. The panther series falls within a category of coins issued under BCEAO authority but designed explicitly for export sale, meaning virtually none entered domestic circulation.
