| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of President Jean-Bédel Bokassa facing left, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored field. The upper legend curves around the bust, reading 'REPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE' at top, flanked by the commemorative dates '1960' and '1970' with the inscription '10e ANNIVERSAIRE DE L'INDEPENDANCE'. Below the portrait, the president's name 'JEAN BEDEL BOKASSA' arcs across the lower field, with the national motto 'UNITE – TRAVAIL – DIGNITE' (Unity – Work – Dignity) arranged around the lower rim. The border is decorated with a repeated stylised motif of raised fan-like ornaments. |
