| Reverse description | A large African elephant with raised trunk is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, standing in profile to the left atop a rocky ground line, conveying power and national pride. Below the elephant, in the exergue area, the refinery inscription ARGOR - 900/1000 appears in small lettering. The denomination 100 FRS. is prominently struck along the lower arc, with the date 1965 flanked by small stars beneath it. The upper legend V ANNIVERSAIRE DE L'INDEPENDANCE curves around the entire upper periphery, separated from the design by a beaded border. |
