| Obverse description | Central device depicts the coat of arms of Biafra: a rising sun with radiating rays at the base, surmounted by a tall palm tree, all enclosed within a crescent-shaped wreath with upward-curving horns. The national motto PEACE UNITY FREEDOM is inscribed along the lower arc of the field in raised Latin lettering. The coin is bordered by a continuous beaded or milled inner rim echoing the serrated outer edge. |
