| Obverse description | The obverse features the national coat of arms of Burkina Faso rendered in high relief at center, depicting a shield supported by two rearing horses, with a crossed sword and hoe, a star, and agricultural motifs below. The arms are set within a circular frame, flanked by the legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU BURKINA FASO' arcing above and '1000 FRANCS CFA' along the lower field. The inscription '1OZ AG .999' appears to the lower right, denoting the coin's silver content and fineness. The entire design is struck on an irregularly shaped flan, contoured to resemble the silhouette of a penguin, with a matte antique finish enhancing the sculptural relief. |
