| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid full-colour enamel depiction of a Zanzibar red colobus monkey (Piliocolobus kirkii) clinging to and swinging from dark reddish-brown branches amid green foliage, rendered in a stylised polychrome technique. The monkey is shown with its characteristic white-fringed face, dark facial mask, and reddish-orange tail, set against a pale golden field. The scientific name COLOBUS PENNANTII arcs along the left periphery in the field, while KIRKII appears in the lower exergue and the issue year 2009 is inscribed centrally at the bottom. |
