| Obverse description | Central motif depicting a stylized traditional African mask rendered in high relief, facing forward with elongated features and hatched decorative detailing. To the upper left, two stylized leaf or wing forms flank the mask in a symmetrical arrangement. The legend BANQUE CENTRALE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST curves along the full circumference of the coin. The word ESSAI and the engraver's initials JPR appear in the left field, identifying this as a trial piece by Jean-Pierre Réthoré. |
