| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid polychrome enamel depiction of a mountain zebra (Equus zebra) standing in profile to the left against a stylised African savannah landscape. The zebra's characteristic bold black-and-white striping is rendered in fine relief and coloured enamel, set against a background of a green-canopied acacia tree with a reddish-brown trunk, blue clouds, and a golden-yellow grassy ground. The legend FAUNE AFRICAINE 1997 arcs along the upper field, and the Latin binomial species name EQUUS ZEBRA is inscribed in a straight line along the lower exergue. |
