| Reverse description | The central field depicts the figure of Aquarius as a robed male figure pouring water, set against a background of stylized wave motifs. To the left, the Aquarius constellation is rendered in raised stars with the Aquarius zodiac symbol, flanked by the dates 21/01 and 19/02 denoting the sign's period. The Cyrillic legend ВОДОЛЕЙ (Aquarius) appears in the lower left field. An outer ring bears all twelve zodiac symbols in alternating polished and frosted segments, with the numeral 11 at top center indicating Aquarius's position in the zodiacal sequence. |

| Additional information |
Gabon's CFA franc issues of this period were struck under license through the Central Bank of Central African States (BEAC), but coins like this — thematic silver issues clearly aimed at the collector market — exist entirely outside that monetary framework. The BEAC has no hand in them. They are produced by private minting houses on contract with the government and have no circulation history whatsoever.
KM#56 is part of a zodiac series, a format that was flooding the world coin market in the 2010s from dozens of small-denomination issuers across Africa and the Pacific.
