| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Togo occupies the central field, depicting two rampant lions flanking a central shield bearing the monogram 'RT' within a cogwheel, surmounted by two crossed national flags on scrolls inscribed 'Travail', 'Liberté', and 'Patrie'. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE TOGOLAISE' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed in large letters across the lower field. The design is rendered in a polished proof finish against a mirrored background. |

| Additional information |
Togo has no independent monetary authority — it is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, meaning its coins are issued under license through foreign mints for the collector market rather than for any domestic circulation. This piece, like the overwhelming majority of CFA-denomination silver issues attributed to Togo, was produced for the numismatic trade and never approached a Togolese cash register.
