| 裏面の説明 | A greater thornbird is depicted in exceptionally detailed high relief, perched amidst a dense, naturalistic arrangement of sharply pointed thorned branches that fill the entire coin field. The bird is rendered with fine feather detailing on its plumage, its head turned slightly to one side, conveying a sense of quiet determination. Interspersed among the thorns are multiple blooming roses with vivid red color application, their petals in stark chromatic contrast to the antiqued silver of the surrounding branches. The composition is dramatic and deeply sculptural, referencing the mythological motif of the thornbird that seeks the sharpest thorn upon which to impale itself and sing its most beautiful song. |

Gabon's wildlife coin program has issued prolifically through the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale, which manages monetary policy for six Central African nations collectively — meaning Gabon itself exercises limited unilateral control over what gets struck in its name. This has produced a long run of high-weight silver pieces marketed almost exclusively to European and Asian collectors, with negligible circulation intent.
The "Greater Thorn Bird" designation does not correspond to any recognized common or scientific name in ornithological literature, which suggests either a proprietary marketing name coined by the issuing agency or a translation artifact from another language. Worth noting before attributing any conservation or ecological significance to the subject.
