| Obverse description | A mongoose depicted in profile facing right occupies the central field, rendered in naturalistic relief. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU GABON' arcs along the upper periphery, while '60 ANS DE L'INDEPENDENCE' — notably misspelled as 'L'INDEPENDANCE' — runs along the lower periphery. The legends are separated by decorative dot stops. The design commemorates the 60th anniversary of Gabonese independence, though the misspelling of 'INDEPENDENCE' is a defining characteristic of this fantasy issue. |
