| Obverse description | Central device features the national arms of Niger: a shield bearing a sun motif at center, flanked by two crossed spears with ceremonial shields, set against a plain field. The denomination '100 FRS' appears prominently in the upper field, with the date '1968' inscribed in the lower exergue. The patriotic motto 'FRATERNITÉ-TRAVAIL-PROGRÈS' arcs along the upper legend, and the word 'ESSAI' (trial) is included in the inscription, identifying this piece as a pattern strike. The overall design is executed in high relief with a deeply mirrored proof-like finish characteristic of Paris Mint essai coinage. |
