Reversbeschreibung	Central design features the head of a leptoceros gazelle (dorcas gazelle) set within flanking stalks of maize. The denomination '10 Fs' appears prominently, with the legend 'AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE FRANÇAISE' arcing around the upper periphery. The upper rim is decorated with a linked chain of sorghum ears, evoking the agricultural character of the region. The overall composition reflects the colonial-era iconographic tradition of combining local fauna and flora with French republican coinage design.

Zusätzliche Informationen	French West Africa's franc-denominated coinage was struck not in Dakar but at the Paris Mint, a colonial arrangement that persisted until the federation's dissolution in 1960. The 1956 issue appeared just four years before eight separate republics emerged from the federation's breakup — Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire among them — each inheriting a currency system designed entirely without their input. Circulation was brief. The CFA franc replaced these transitional issues almost immediately at independence.
