| Obverse description | The arms of the Republic of Senegal are displayed centrally: a quartered shield bearing a rampant lion to the left and a baobab tree above wavy lines to the right, encircled by an olive wreath. Three scroll banners beneath the shield bear the national motto 'UN PEUPLE - UNE FOI - UN BUT'. A five-pointed star appears at the apex of the design, surmounting the shield. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU SENEGAL' arcs around the upper periphery in bold Latin characters, while small five-pointed stars punctuate the lower field. A decorative rosette ornament appears at the base. |
