| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly stylized rabbit rendered entirely in intricate Celtic knotwork and interlace ornamental patterns, occupying the central field in a seated pose facing left with ears erect. The entire body of the animal is infilled with flowing, interlocking Celtic motifs characteristic of Insular art. A continuous Celtic chain border encircles the inner field. The series title CELTIC ANIMALS arches along the upper legend, with the word RABBIT inscribed along the lower border, and the purity and weight notation 1oz 999 Fine Silver positioned vertically along the right inner field. |

The Bank of Central African States issues commemorative coinage well outside its circulating mandate, contracting production to European mints for the collector market. These pieces have no meaningful circulation history in the CEMAC zone and are sold almost exclusively through international numismatic distributors.
