| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Côte d'Ivoire occupies the central field, featuring the elephant head device within a shield flanked by traditional decorative elements. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE is inscribed along the upper periphery, with the denomination 100 FRANCS CFA positioned in the lower portion of the field. The design is rendered in high relief against a polished gold field, typical of proof-quality commemorative issues. |

| Additional information |
Ivory Coast — formally the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire — has no historical connection to the Olympic Games as a host nation, and its national mint infrastructure is negligible. These fractional gold pieces are produced for the collector market by private minting houses operating under licensing arrangements, exploiting the CFA franc's status as legal tender across the West African Economic and Monetary Union. The issuing authority is nominal.
At 0.5 grams, the gold content is too small to function as bullion in any practical sense.
