| Obverse description | The right field carries an intaglio portrait of a West African woman in traditional head-wrap and earrings, while the central vignette presents an open-cast mining scene with large dragline excavators set against a mountainous landscape. To the left stands a carved wooden figurine, and the border is composed of repeating spiral guilloche motifs in brown and ochre tones; two signature panels below the central vignette bear the titles LE GOUVERNEUR and LE PRESIDENT DU CONSEIL DES MINISTRES. |

| Reverse description | The left portion of the reverse carries a large intaglio vignette of a stylised African mask in profile, rendered in fine line engraving. The central and right fields show a craftsman seated at work carving or weaving, surrounded by traditional African wooden sculpture and decorative objects, all set against a pale underprint. The border repeats an interlocking geometric and mask motif in orange and olive tones consistent throughout the series. |
