| Obverse description | The obverse features a simple outline silhouette of a springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) in profile facing left, rendered in an elegant incuse style against a polished proof field. To the upper left, the circular arms of Djibouti are depicted within a beaded border. The denomination '250 FRANCS' is inscribed to the left of the design, with the legend 'REPUBLIQUE DE DJIBOUTI' arcing along the upper rim. The date '2018' appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Djibouti's Central Bank has issued a succession of silver wildlife pieces clearly aimed at the collector market rather than circulation — the springbok has no particular connection to Djibouti, a country whose native fauna runs to dromedaries and frankly hostile littoral species. These are bullion-adjacent issues produced for export revenue.
