Small wildlife vignettes appear in the lower field flanking the central motif. The legend 'SUBPOLAR ZONE' arcs prominently along the upper periphery, while the weight, fineness, and date '1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD 2017' are inscribed along the lower portion of the design. |

| Additional information |
Guinea has issued a long-running series of small-format gold coins — many under a gram — primarily targeting the collector and gift market rather than any domestic monetary function. These pieces are produced under licensing arrangements and struck at European mints, with Guinea lending its issuing authority in exchange for a fee. The moose subject places this firmly in a wildlife-themed collector series with no particular connection to Guinean fauna or history.
