| Reverse description | A full-length frontal depiction of Horus, the ancient Egyptian falcon-headed deity, stands in the centre of the field rendered in a stylised flat relief reminiscent of traditional Egyptian iconography. The god is shown wearing a double crown atop his falcon head, holding a Was sceptre in his left hand and an ankh in his right. A circular cartouche at the lower left contains a small falcon hieroglyph. The legend HORUS DIEU CÉLESTE arcs along the upper periphery, separated by an ankh cross, with the date 2017 to the right of the figure and the gold specification ½ G .999 FINE GOLD inscribed along the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Ivory Coast has no meaningful historical connection to Horus or ancient Egyptian iconography — this is a bullion-adjacent novelty issue produced under the West African CFA franc framework, targeting collector markets rather than domestic circulation. The BCEAO member states have periodically authorized small-denomination gold pieces of this kind, effectively licensing their sovereign name to third-party minting programs with no pretense of monetary utility.
