| Reverse description | Two polychrome enameled giraffes stand in a savanna landscape at the center of the field, rendered in naturalistic detail with their characteristic reticulated yellow and brown coat pattern. Behind them, acacia trees in green enamel frame the scene, while a stylized snow-capped mountain — suggestive of Kilimanjaro — rises in blue and white enamel against the mirrored silver background. The legend FAUNE AFRICAINE curves along the upper periphery, flanked by the date 1996, while the word GIRAFE is inscribed along the lower rim. The colorized enameling contrasts vividly with the highly polished proof field. |
