| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from Peter Paul Rubens' painting 'Tiger Hunt' (circa 1616), applied directly to the rectangular silver flan. The scene depicts a dynamic hunting composition featuring intertwined human and animal figures rendered in Rubens' characteristic Baroque style, with richly colored flesh tones, bold chiaroscuro, and vigorous movement. The vivid coloring is achieved through a printing or enamel application technique over the polished silver surface. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues coinage on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — under a shared monetary framework that has been in place since 1972. The BEAC bullion and collector series are struck by outside mints under contract, as none of the member states operate a functioning mint of their own.
The "Tiger Hunt" designation is a recurring theme in this BEAC collector series, with multiple numbered installments issued across several years. Roman numeral sequencing places this as the fourteenth entry.
