| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of an adult African elephant standing in a natural savanna setting dominates the central field, accompanied by a smaller juvenile elephant at its side, rendered with naturalistic attention to texture and form. Sparse grasses at the base suggest the animals' habitat. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs along the upper rim in bold raised lettering, while LE MONDE ANIMAL EN PERIL arcs along the lower rim, providing the French translation. The date 2003 appears in small characters to the right of the central design. |
