| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the national coat of arms of Niger, depicting a shield flanked by crossed spears with a sun above, rendered in high relief against a polished gold field. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination 100 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is bold and heraldic in style, consistent with the nation's standard coinage iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niger's Abu Simbel issue belongs to a loose series of African-minted gold miniatures nominally tied to UNESCO World Heritage Sites — a format popularized by several Francophone West African states whose monetary authorities license designs to European distributors, primarily for the collector market. The temples themselves are in Egypt, roughly 4,000 kilometers from Niamey, making Niger's jurisdictional claim purely commercial.
At 0.5 grams, the piece contains about $30 worth of metal at most gold spot prices — a figure the secondary market rarely reflects.
