| Obverse description | The national arms of Burkina Faso occupy the central field, depicting a heraldic shield charged with a central five-pointed star and flanked by two rearing horses as supporters, with an open book at the base. A ribbon beneath the shield bears the national motto in three parts. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU BURKINA FASO' runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed along the lower border. A secondary scroll cartouche across the upper shield area bears the country name 'BURKINA FASO'. |
