| Reverse description | A vivid full-color applied image of a Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus) dominates the central field, depicted perched and facing left, its plumage rendered in brilliant polychrome coloring showing lilac, turquoise, cobalt blue, and chestnut tones. Behind the bird, an engraved savanna landscape features acacia trees and a giraffe in the left field, while the right field depicts an engraved silhouette of a birdwatcher with a camera on a tripod beside a partial map of the African continent. The scientific name CORACIAS CAUDATUS is inscribed in italic lettering across the upper field, accompanied by the geographical designation L'AFRIQUE. The French common name ROLLER A LONGS BRINS curves along the lower rim, with the year 2013 incused within the field. |
