| Obverse description | At left, a bust portrait of a young African woman wearing a colourful head wrap is rendered in fine intaglio. A large watermark void occupies the centre, to the right of which a vignette shows a mass parade of marchers carrying a banner inscribed with a commemorative text, set against an open-air grandstand flying red flags. An African figurine statuette appears at the far right. The design is framed by an intricate guilloche underprint in green and yellow tones, with the denomination numeral '10000' printed in red at both upper corners. |

| Reverse description | At the left margin stands a tall African wooden figurine statue rendered in rich brown intaglio, while at the right a large rounded tribal mask with crescent-shaped headdress is similarly engraved. The central vignette presents a pastoral agricultural scene of a tractor ploughing a field, with trees and open landscape in the background. The entire composition rests on a crosshatch guilloche underprint in green, blue, and ochre, with the denomination '10000' in red at both upper corners. |
