| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief sculptural depiction of two gray wolves (Canis lupus) in an intimate naturalistic composition: one wolf is seated with eyes half-closed, while the second stands alert behind it, both rendered with exceptional fur texture and anatomical precision. The animals are posed on a rocky, snow-dusted ground, conveying a sense of wilderness habitat. The date 2016 is inscribed in small characters in the lower central exergue beneath the rocky base. The irregular shaped flan, contoured to follow the outline of the wolf group, enhances the three-dimensional sculptural quality of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Burkina Faso's wildlife coin program has produced a steady stream of issues aimed squarely at the European collector market, with the gray wolf an odd choice for a country where the animal has no native presence. The selection reflects commercial logic rather than any zoological or cultural connection to the issuing nation.
The "Irregular" designation refers to the coin's non-circular shaped planchet — a format that became increasingly common among African fiscal agent issues after the mid-2000s as mints competed for novelty-driven sales.
