| Obverse description | The obverse bears the national coat of arms of Côte d'Ivoire in high relief at centre, depicting a shield charged with an elephant head facing left, flanked by two palm trees and surmounted by a rising sun with radiating rays. A scroll beneath the shield carries the legend REPUBLIQUE DE CÔTE D'IVOIRE. The date 2021 appears above the arms in the upper field, while the denomination 5000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in large letters along the lower rim. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DE CÔTE D'IVOIRE runs along the upper periphery in capital Latin letters. The coin exhibits an antique finish throughout. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features an extraordinarily detailed ultra-high-relief close-up portrait of an owl's face filling virtually the entire field, rendered with meticulous engraving of individual feathers across the forehead, facial disc, and ear tufts. The owl's two large, intensely rendered eyes dominate the composition and gaze directly at the viewer, with a sharply hooked beak prominent at centre below. The legend HAUT RELIEF is inscribed vertically along the left inner rim, and the fineness and weight designation 5 OZ .999 AG appears along the right inner rim. An engraver's monogram is visible in the lower field. The antique finish enhances the dramatic sculptural depth of the design. |
