| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Mali occupies the central field, depicting a stylised Sudano-Sahelian mosque (Great Mosque of Djenné) flanked by crossed bow and arrow and a spear over a radiating sun, with a flying vulture displayed above. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU MALI' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '100 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed across the lower central field, and the national motto 'UN PEUPLE · UN BUT · UNE FOI' curves along the lower rim, flanked by five-pointed stars. The design is struck in proof finish with a mirrored field contrasting against frosted relief elements. |

| Additional information |
Mali's CFA franc coinage is issued under the West African Economic and Monetary Union, meaning the Bamako government exercises no independent monetary policy — these small gold pieces are effectively authorized novelties rather than functional currency. The 0.5g format places this squarely in the modern bullion-souvenir category that various WAEMU member states have licensed to European minting houses, primarily to capture collector markets with low entry-cost precious metal pieces.
