| Reverse description | A large full-color photographic portrait of a Yorkshire Terrier's head dominates the left and central field, rendered with fine detail in applied color printing showing the breed's characteristic tan and silky coat. To the right, a smaller color vignette depicts a stylized female figure walking a small white dog on a leash. Scattered across the mirror-polished field are embossed motifs of dog paw prints and bone-shaped ornaments. The inscription YORKSHIRE TERRIER arcs along the upper border in raised lettering, and the date 2012 appears in the lower field flanked by paw print devices. |

| Additional information |
The BCEAO issues currency on behalf of eight West African nations — Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo — yet coins of this type are produced purely for the collector market and never circulate in those economies. The arrangement is essentially a licensing agreement: the issuing authority lends its legal tender framework to a European distributor, collects a fee, and the coins are sold directly to hobbyists in Western markets.
Yorkshire Terriers have no cultural connection to the issuing region whatsoever.
