| Obverse description | The obverse features the silhouette of the Buddha set against the sacred Bodhi tree, with Sutra text rendered in Sanskrit distributed across the field, creating an ornate devotional composition. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE GABONAISE arcs along the upper periphery, identifying the issuing state, while the face value 2000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed below. The year of issue 2025 and the metallic specification 2 OZ AG999 appear prominently, attesting to the coin's two-troy-ounce fine silver content. The design integrates spiritual iconography with official numismatic inscriptions in a highly detailed, antique-finished relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Buddha seated in the lotus position beneath the canopy of the Bodhi tree, rendered in high relief with meticulous sculptural detail. The figure is shown in a state of deep meditative absorption, hands resting in the dhyana mudra, evoking the moment of his enlightenment at Bodh Gaya. The Bodhi tree's spreading branches and foliage fill the upper field, framing the central figure in a naturalistic yet symbolic composition. The overall design conveys themes of tranquility, spiritual awakening, and universal compassion, consistent with the Theravada and Mahayana iconographic traditions. The antique finish enhances the depth and texture of the relief, lending the coin an aged, sacred quality. |
