| Obverse description | Central device depicting the arms of Biafra: a rising sun with radiating rays issuing from stylised waves at the base, surmounted by a tall palm tree, the whole flanked by two upswept elephant tusks forming a crescent-like frame. The design is rendered in fine relief against a plain field. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The motto legend PEACE·UNITY·FREEDOM arcs along the lower periphery in raised Latin characters, separated by raised dots. |
