| Reverse description | Central bimetallic field depicts a bust-length portrait of an African soldier in uniform and campaign hat, facing slightly to the left, rendered in fine relief within a circular inner border. The dates '1914-2014' appear prominently in the lower portion of the central field, commemorating the centenary of the First World War. The upper legend arching around the ring reads 'Honneur aux africains qui sont tombés au champ d'honneur en France', and the lower legend along the rim reads '100ème anniversaire de la 1ère guerre mondiale'. The gold-toned outer ring is plain, framing the silvered inner disc. |
