| Reverse description | A forward-facing head of a leptoceros gazelle (slender-horned gazelle) rendered in fine relief, its long, ringed horns rising prominently into the upper field. The central motif is flanked by abundant agricultural vegetation including maize cobs and leafy crops, symbolising the region's natural wealth. The denomination '1 F.' is divided by the gazelle's horns into the upper left and upper right fields respectively. The circular legend AFRIQUE EQUATORIALE FRANÇAISE runs along the lower periphery, separated from the inner design by a beaded border of stylised floral ornaments. |
