The upper legend reads 'REPUBLIQUE DU MALI' flanked by six-pointed stars, while the lower legend carries the national motto 'UN PEUPLE·UN BUT·UNE FOI' arcing along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mali declared independence from France on September 22, 1960, and these piedfort essais were struck almost immediately as part of the formal coinage authorization process — a French minting convention in which double-thickness trial pieces were produced for official approval before circulation strikes commenced. The Paris Mint handled production, as was standard practice for Francophone African nations whose own minting infrastructure didn't yet exist.
Piedforts of this issue are genuinely rare. Approval strikes of this type were distributed in tiny quantities among government officials and monetary authorities, not the numismatic trade.
