Obverse description	The right half of the obverse is dominated by an intaglio portrait of a young West African woman in traditional headwrap, rendered in fine detail against a salmon-red guilloche underprint. At centre, a vignette illustrates a male weaver operating a traditional horizontal loom, with two signature panels — Le Gouverneur and Le Président du Conseil des Ministres — printed below. The left field carries an ornate geometric medallion formed from interlaced traditional motifs in gold and green, with an unprinted watermark window above it.

To the left, a sculptural group combines a traditional African carved figure with a seated young woman in colourful dress and headwrap. The right margin carries geometric African decorative patterns and a stylised mask, while the lower border is filled with bold multicolour woven textile motifs.
