Obverse description Three giant elands (Taurotragus derbianus) depicted in left profile, rendered in fine detail with prominent spiral horns overlapping one another against a background of stylized savanna grasses. The circular legend BANQUE CENTRALE arcs across the upper field, while ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE EQUATORIALE runs along the lower periphery. The engravers' signatures G.B. and L.BAZOR appear discreetly in the right field. The composition conveys a sense of movement and naturalistic vitality characteristic of mid-twentieth-century French colonial coinage design.
