| Obverse description | Central to the obverse is the large denomination numeral '10' with a stylized fish superimposed vertically between the digits, a design element characteristic of the West African States coinage series referencing regional fauna. The curved legend 'BANQUE CENTRALE' arcs across the upper field, while 'ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST' follows the lower periphery. The word 'FRANCS' appears beneath the central device, and the essai designation 'ESSAI' is inscribed in small letters below 'FRANCS' in the lower field. Small decorative symbols flank the central motif at left and right. |
