| Reverse description | A sawfish rendered in relief occupies the central field, depicted in a stylised frontal-facing downward orientation with its distinctive elongated rostrum prominently shown. The circular legend is divided into two concentric bands: the outer upper arc bears 'COMUNIDADE ECONÓMICA DOS ESTADOS DA ÁFRICA OCIDENTAL' in Portuguese, while the lower arc carries 'ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES' in English, together encircling the central motif. |

| Additional information |
The WAMZ Eco is a proposed single currency for the West African Monetary Zone — a bloc within ECOWAS comprising anglophone and some other non-CFA member states — that has missed every target launch date since the project began in 2000. This 2020-dated piece was struck well before any actual monetary union materialized; the currency remains unlaunched as of this writing, making these coins purely promotional or pattern issues with no circulation history whatsoever.
