| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Senegal is depicted at centre, consisting of a quartered shield bearing a lion passant and a baobab tree, flanked by two olive branches and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE DU SÉNÉGAL arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 2024 below it above the shield. The motto UN PEUPLE UN BUT UNE FOI appears on a scroll at the base of the arms, and the denomination 100 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in the lower field. A small decorative emblem appears beneath the coat of arms. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central vignette depicting a crowd of soldiers and civilians in historical dress, evoking the Dąbrowski Mazurka scene, rendered in fine engraved detail. Above the vignette, in the upper field within an inner circle, the opening chorus of the Polish national anthem is inscribed in six lines of upright Latin lettering. The entire design is surrounded by an elaborate decorative border of floral and foliate motifs forming a wide ornamental ring around the circumference. The fineness and weight designations 1/200 OZ 999 FINE GOLD appear in small lettering at the base of the central vignette. |

| Additional information |
The "Mazurek Dąbrowskiego" was adopted as Poland's national anthem in 1927, though the lyrics date to 1797 when Józef Wybicki wrote them for the Polish Legions fighting under Napoleon in northern Italy. That a Senegalese issuer is striking gold commemoratives tied to Polish national music in 2024 reflects the modern collector-coin market's appetite for cross-jurisdictional novelty issues — Senegal's CFA franc authority has become a prolific vehicle for exactly this kind of themed bullion-adjacent piece.
At 0.1417 g of .999 gold across a 40 mm planchet, the metal-to-diameter ratio is extraordinarily thin — this is fundamentally a collector artifact, not a bullion instrument.
