A ribbon scroll below the shield bears the legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER. The word INDEPENDANCE arcs prominently along the upper legend, while the denomination 10 FRS and the independence date 3 AOUT 1960 appear in large characters in the lower field. The word ESSAI is inscribed to the lower left, identifying this piece as a trial strike. |
