| Reverse description | A naturalistic, finely detailed lion (Panthera leo) stands facing forward in full figure, depicted in a proud, alert posture amid stylized grasses or savanna vegetation at its feet. The mane is rendered with bold relief, conveying a sense of power and majesty. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER' curves along the upper periphery in large incuse letters, and the word 'ESSAI' appears in the lower field, identifying this as a pattern strike. A small mintmark is visible at the base of the reverse field. The design is set within a beaded border. |
