| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Niger occupies the central field, depicting a shield bearing a radiant sun, flanked by two crossed spears and decorated with ornamental elements including stylized plant motifs and a bull's head at the base. The national motto FRATERNITÉ-TRAVAIL-PROGRÈS arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 FRs appears prominently above the shield and the date 1968 is inscribed in the lower field. The word ESSAI is discreetly incused at the lower right, confirming the piece's trial status. The whole is set within a beaded border. |
