| Additional information |
The West African manatee (*Trichechus senegalensis*) was listed as vulnerable by the IUCN well before this coin's issue, with populations fragmented across coastal lagoons and river systems from Senegal to Angola. Ivory Coast's participation in wildlife commemorative programs during this period ran through the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, though the coins were largely produced for the collector market rather than domestic circulation — CFA franc users rarely encountered them.
