| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a finely detailed relief depiction of a Giant Pangolin (Smutsia gigantea) in right profile, occupying the central field, its characteristic overlapping keratinous scales rendered with naturalistic precision and its elongated snout directed toward the left. The curved legend 'PROTECTION DE LA FAUNE' arcs along the upper periphery. In the lower central field, the species name 'Grand pangolin' is inscribed in a distinctive script, and the denomination '25000 FRANCS' is boldly lettered along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Togo's authority to issue commemorative coinage is a licensing arrangement rather than sovereign production — these pieces are struck by foreign mints, typically in Europe, and sold directly into the collector market without ever circulating in Togo itself. The "essai" designation here indicates a trial or proof-type strike submitted for approval, a French-system convention inherited from colonial-era monetary administration and still applied by several Francophone African states decades after independence.
The giant pangolin (*Manis gigantea*) has since moved from "vulnerable" to effectively threatened across West Africa, making 2007 an inadvertently early marker of a conservation collapse that accelerated sharply in the following decade.
