| Reverse description | A naturalistic rendering of two Przewalski's horses occupies the central field: a large adult mare stands in profile facing right, while a smaller foal grazes at her side with its head lowered toward the ground line. The legend PRESERVE PLANET EARTH curves along the upper rim in bold raised lettering. The denomination D750 is inscribed in the lower exergue beneath the ground line, completing the conservation-themed design. |

| Additional information |
Issued in 1995 while Bosnia was still under active siege — the Dayton Agreement wasn't signed until December of that year — this coin was struck at a moment when the National Bank had virtually no functioning domestic economy to serve. Commemorative silver issues like this one were produced almost entirely for the international collector market, a common survival mechanism for monetary authorities operating under wartime conditions.
The Przewalski's horse, native to Central Asian steppe and extinct in the wild by the 1960s, was the subject of an ongoing reintroduction program through the WWF — the likely hook for this issue's theme.
