| Obverse description |
The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Central African Republic in the center field, depicting two crossed national flags flanking a quartered shield bearing an elephant head, a baobab tree, a five-pointed star, and a hand holding a torch, surmounted by a rising sun and the national motto scroll reading 'ZO KWE ZO'. A decorative supporter at the base incorporates a medallion flanked by scrolls inscribed 'UNITE', 'DIGNITE', and 'TRAVAIL'. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '100 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed along the lower rim, with two asterisks flanking the coat of arms in the lower field. |
| Reverse description |
The reverse presents a richly colored depiction of Adansonia grandidieri, Grandidier's Baobab, an endangered species endemic to Madagascar. A monumental baobab tree dominates the right and center of the field, its massive reddish-brown trunk and spreading canopy rendered in vivid polychrome coloring, while a scenic landscape of additional baobab trees of varying sizes recedes into the background in muted tones. At the center-left, the official WWF logo — a stylized giant panda in a rounded square cartouche — appears in relief. The species name 'ADANSONIA GRANDIDIERI' is inscribed along the upper rim, and the date '2015' is incused into the lower right field. |
