| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic depiction of an adult Cross-River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) cradling a young infant in its arms, rendered in high relief against a lightly textured background suggesting forest foliage. The adult gorilla faces forward with a commanding presence, its powerful frame filling the majority of the field, while the infant gorilla clings to the adult's chest and gazes outward. The species designation CROSS-RIVER GORILLA arcs along the upper rim in bold raised lettering. The date 2011 appears in the lower exergue. |

The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC — serves six member nations simultaneously, which creates an unusual monetary arrangement where a single central bank issues currency for Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. This coin, however, is a collector issue rather than circulating currency, produced under the broader wave of wildlife-themed silver rounds that African monetary authorities began licensing aggressively in the 2000s, often through European minting intermediaries with only nominal ties to the issuing nation.
Western lowland gorilla populations in the BEAC member states — particularly in Gabon and the Republic of the Congo — represent the largest remaining concentrations of the subspecies.
