| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Burkina Faso occupies the central field, featuring a shield charged with a five-pointed star, supported by two rearing stallions facing inward, with crossed spears and a stylized book in the base. A ribbon below the shield bears the national motto in three segments: 'Unité', 'Progrès', and 'Justice'. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU BURKINA FASO' arcs along the upper periphery in large raised letters, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed prominently along the lower border. The antique finish imparts a deeply toned, matte texture to the entire obverse field. |

| Reverse description | A colorized panoramic scene depicts the rooftops and church steeple of the French town of Château-Renard rendered in antique silver relief against a vivid deep-blue and violet night sky filled with stars. A luminous comet with a bright blue-green tail streaks dramatically across the upper field, with a meteorite fragment depicted in the foreground of the sky, commemorating the 1841 meteorite fall. The toponym 'CHÂTEAU-RENARD' is inscribed along the upper arc in raised Latin letters, while 'FRANCE 1841 – 2016' appears in the lower field along with the purity and weight inscription '1 OZ AG .999' along the right inner border. The colorization technique is applied exclusively to the celestial background, contrasting sharply with the antique silver townscape. |
