The image occupies the central field and is rendered in vivid applied colour, characteristic of modern collector issues. The series legend AI·NIMALS and the thematic subtitle CATS & DOGS appear as inscriptions within the design. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues collector coinage well outside its core mandate of managing the franc CFA for six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. These releases are produced entirely for the international numismatic market and have no meaningful circulation within the monetary zone they nominally represent. The "Pilot dog" belongs to a recurring animal-themed series that BEAC licenses through external minting partners, a practice common among developing-nation central banks seeking hard currency from collector premiums.
