| Obverse description | Three Giant Elands (Lord Derby Elands, Taurotragus derbianus) depicted in procession facing left, rendered in low relief against a plain field. The legend 'EMPIRE CENTRAFRICAIN' arcs above the central device, while the engravers' initials 'G.B.L.BAZOR' and the mintmark 'CR' appear in the lower field. The composition reflects the naturalistic style characteristic of the Monnaie de Paris output of this period. |
