The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DE COTE D'IVOIRE arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in two lines along the lower field in large bold characters.

| Reverse description | A highly detailed rendering of the French 80-gun ship-of-the-line Bucentaure under full sail occupies the central field, depicted in three-quarter starboard view riding stylised ocean waves.
