| Reverse description | The reverse displays two raised circular coin effigies side by side, each depicting the French gold quarter-euro issued in 2002: the left effigy shows the obverse of the French quarter-euro with the stylised euro symbol and gear motif, while the right effigy presents the reverse bearing the denomination 1/4 EURO in cursive script and the year 2002, both surrounded by a ring of twelve stars. Six additional relief stars are arranged symmetrically around the two coin effigies in the field. The legend FIRST GOLD-EURO arches across the top of the field in bold capitals, and FRANCE 2002 is inscribed along the lower border. The word COPY appears in small letters between the two coin effigies. |

Struck to nominal face value under the CFA franc monetary zone, this micro-bullion piece exists primarily as a collector vehicle rather than anything approaching legal tender in practical use. The CFA franc itself has been pegged to the euro since 1999 at a fixed rate of 655.957 francs, a relationship underwritten by the French Treasury — which still guarantees convertibility, an arrangement that has drawn sustained criticism from African economists and politicians arguing it limits monetary autonomy for the fourteen member states.
