| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Burkina Faso is displayed at centre, consisting of a shield charged with a five-pointed star, flanked by two rearing horses as supporters, with crossed spears behind the shield and a open book beneath. A ribbon below the supporters bears the national motto 'Unité Progrès Justice' in Latin script. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU BURKINA FASO' curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' appears in large relief along the lower field. The coin is struck in antique finish, lending a warm antiqued patina to the entire surface. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a richly detailed scene from the tale of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. At left, a large muscular Jinni emerges from billowing clouds of smoke, arms crossed, adorned with a pearl necklace and ornate headdress. At centre-lower field, the magic oil lamp rests on the ground, with wisps of smoke curling upward. To the right, the young Aladdin, dressed in a turban and embroidered garments, reaches toward the lamp. In the background, an Oriental palace with domed minarets rises beneath a crescent moon and stars. The legend 'ALADDIN AND THE MAGIC LAMP' curves along the upper periphery, the fineness mark '1 OZ AG.999' appears at lower left, and the date '2017' is inscribed at the bottom of the field. |
