Beschrijving keerzijde	A full-body depiction of a black leopard (Panthera pardus, melanistic form) is shown in a stalking posture facing right, rendered in applied black enamel coloring with silver outlines accentuating the musculature and facial features. A bare, leafless tree occupies the left and upper background in silver relief against a contrasting dark field. Green enamel coloring highlights a rocky ground plane beneath the animal's feet. The species name PANTHERA PARDUS arcs along the upper right periphery in an italic script legend, with the date 2007 inscribed to the left in the lower field.

Aanvullende informatie	The Ivory Coast has no native leopard population to speak of — Panthera pardus was effectively extirpated from the country through habitat loss and bushmeat hunting well before this coin was struck. The issue belongs to a wave of African wildlife silver produced for the European collector market in the mid-2000s, where the issuing nation's connection to the subject matter was often nominal at best.
