Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse presents a full-length, polychrome colour-printed effigy of a medieval Russian bogatyr (warrior-knight) standing facing, clad in detailed lamellar armour with a conical helmet and mail aventail, and draped in a sweeping red cloak. The knight holds a longsword point-downward before him and bears a decorative round shield at his chest. A white horse grazes amid a forested landscape in the background. The legend RUSSIAN KNIGHT arcs above the central vignette within an arched frame, with the date 2015 inscribed at the upper right. The field outside the central arch is decorated with elaborate floral and foliate scrollwork in relief.

Aanvullende informatie

The BCEAO issues coins like this one — legal tender of member states including Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and Mali — almost entirely for the international collector market, with no meaningful circulation in the issuing countries. The CFA franc zone itself operates under monetary agreements with France, and the BCEAO's numismatic program generates hard currency revenue precisely because the coins never circulate at face value.

The Russian knight subject has no geographic or historical connection to West Africa.
