| Obverse description | Central field features the stylized emblem of the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, depicting a traditional West African mask with elongated face and geometric decorative elements, flanked by curved scroll motifs and triangular wing-like forms in relief. The design conveys a modernist interpretation of African artistic tradition. The engraver's initials 'JPR' appear in the left field below the mask. The surrounding legend reads 'BANQUE CENTRALE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST', disposed along the upper and lower rim. |
