| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Togolese Republic is centrally depicted, featuring two rampant lions flanking a shield charged with the monogram 'RT' within an octagonal border, surmounted by two crossed national flags bearing the motto scrolls 'TRAVAIL', 'LIBERTE', and 'PATRIE'. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE TOGOLAISE' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed along the lower field. The entire design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, with a beaded border encircling the coin. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief composition depicts an adult tiger and a cub resting amid a rocky outcrop, both selectively gilt in gold to create a striking two-tone effect against the mirror-polished silver field. To the left, an intricately engraved bamboo thicket fills the field in naturalistic relief. The legend 'YEAR OF THE TIGER' is inscribed in an arc along the upper right periphery, while the date '2010' appears in the lower exergue. The gilded treatment of the tigers imparts exceptional visual contrast to this lunar series commemorative issue. |
