| Reversbeschreibung | Within a rectangular raised border, a finely detailed panoramic African wildlife scene depicts a hippopotamus emerging from a body of water with its mouth open wide, revealing its teeth. The animal is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation including palm fronds in the lower left, marsh grasses, and acacia trees in the background, with low hills and clouds completing the naturalistic landscape. The entire composition is rendered in high relief against a polished proof field, conveying depth and movement. The legend HIPPOPOTAMUS is inscribed in bold raised lettering across the upper field. |

The Bank of Central African States issues coinage on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — a currency union that survived the 1994 CFA franc devaluation largely intact despite the 50% adjustment causing sharp economic disruption across the region. This piece was struck five years after that crisis, when the bank was actively producing silver collector issues partly to generate foreign exchange revenue.
The oval planchet, reflected in the 40 x 25 mm dimensions, is the key production detail here. Shaped coins of this type were contracted through specialist European mints in the late 1990s, not struck at any facility within the issuing states themselves.
