| Obverse description | The obverse features a colorized composite design depicting the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles incident. In the upper field, a twin-boom World War II-era aircraft (resembling a P-38 Lightning) is shown in flight against a vivid colored background of night sky and explosions. At center-right, a raised relief flying saucer-type object dominates the mid-field. The lower field incorporates colorized newspaper headlines referencing the Los Angeles UFO scare, alongside a depiction of the American flag. To the lower left, a recessed circular cartouche bears the national arms of Burkina Faso, surrounded by the legend REPUBLIQUE DU BURKINA FASO, with the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA inscribed below the arms. |
