| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Niger occupies the central field, featuring a shield charged with a radiating sun above a gazelle head, flanked by crossed spears and supported by two curved horns. The denomination 10 FRs is inscribed prominently in the upper field above the arms. The national motto arcs along the periphery in raised Latin lettering, with the date 1968 appearing in the lower exergual area. The design is executed in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, enhancing the fine detail of the heraldic elements. A beaded inner border frames the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | A fully detailed African lion (Panthera leo) stands in three-quarter frontal pose, turned slightly to the left, its maned head facing the viewer directly. The animal is depicted in a naturalistic savanna setting, standing amid rocks and sparse vegetation rendered in fine relief. The lion's musculature, mane, and claws are meticulously engraved, conveying strength and majesty. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. A beaded border encircles the design, and the deeply mirrored proof fields accentuate the sculptural quality of the relief. |
