The denomination '50' and the legend 'EURO' are inscribed in large characters to the upper left of the field. The curved legend 'Espèce menacée' (Endangered Species) arcs along the upper border. The iconic WWF panda logo, accompanied by the 'WWF' inscription, appears in the lower right field, affirming the conservation theme of this commemorative issue. |

Issued as part of the Monnaie de Paris's ongoing naturalist series, this piece was released to coincide with WWF France's conservation fundraising efforts — a portion of proceeds directed toward habitat programs. Gold commemoratives of this type were produced in strictly limited quantities, and the 2011 run was no exception, making secondary-market survival rates relatively high given how few actually circulated.
