| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Republic of Togo occupies the central field, depicting two rampant lions flanking a shield charged with the monogram 'RT' (République Togolaise), surmounted by two national flags adorned with five-pointed stars and crossed staffs. Scrolling banners bearing the national motto 'TRAVAIL · LIBERTÉ · PATRIE' appear above the shield. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE TOGOLAISE' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS' is inscribed along the lower portion of the field. The design is executed in high-relief proof finish against a mirror-polished field, with a dentilated border encircling the entire obverse. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed depiction of the historic 16th-century carrack 'Adler von Lübeck', one of the largest warships of her era, shown under full sail on a stylized sea with wave lines in the lower field. The vessel is rendered in fine engraved detail, with multiple masts, billowing sails, and rigging clearly delineated against a mirror-polished background. Seagulls in flight and clouds appear in the upper field, lending an atmospheric maritime quality to the composition. The date '2001' is inscribed in the lower left field. The ship's name 'Adler von Lübeck' appears in Fraktur blackletter script along the lower arc of the coin. |
