| Reverse description | A forward-facing leptoceros gazelle head is centrally depicted, its long curved horns rising prominently to divide the denomination numeral '1' and the abbreviation 'F.' in the upper field. Flanking the gazelle on both sides are stylized agricultural plants — including what appear to be maize and other tropical crops — rendered in fine detail against a plain field. A decorative border of small floral or berry motifs frames the upper rim. The circular legend AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE FRANÇAISE runs along the lower periphery, identifying the issuing territory. |
