Obverse description	The central intaglio vignette presents a young African woman in three-quarter view holding a cornucopia overflowing with tropical produce — corn, bananas, and grapes — against a background of pineapples, maize, and dense tropical foliage. The denomination CENT FRANCS appears in large numerals to the left within guilloche borders, geometric zigzag ornaments occupy each corner, and the bank title BANQUE DE L'AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE runs across the top in a cartouche. Signature lines for LE PRÉSIDENT and LE DIRECTEUR GÉNÉRAL are placed at lower left alongside the issue date, with engraver and designer credits SÉB. LAURENT FEC. and A. CHAPON SC. inscribed at the foot.
