| Obverse description | Facing stylized antelope head occupying the central field, rendered in low relief with fine detail. The circular legend reads 'REPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE' along the upper rim and '60 ANS DE L'INDEPENDENCE' along the lower rim, the latter containing a deliberate spelling error ('INDEPENDENCE' in place of the correct French 'INDEPENDANCE'). |

The BEAC's franc zone, pegged to the euro at a fixed rate guaranteed by the French Treasury, has kept the CFA franc artificially stable for decades — a monetary arrangement that drew renewed public fury across member states around 2020, with protests in Cameroon, Senegal, and elsewhere demanding its abolition as a relic of French colonial control.
