| Reverse description | A large polychrome enamel depiction of a slender-snouted crocodile (Crocodylus cataphractus) dominates the field, rendered in shades of green with detailed scalework, its jaws open to reveal red inner coloring, set against a naturalistic habitat of blue water and brown-red marsh vegetation. The legend PROTECTION DE LA FAUNE curves along the upper periphery. The date 1996 appears in the right field, and the scientific name Crocodylus Cataphractus is inscribed in two lines in the lower field. |
