| Obverse description | The obverse features five individual circular coin-design medallions, each bearing the national coat of arms of a member state — Niger (upper left), Mali (upper right, shown with proof finish), Congo (centre), Benin (lower left), and Côte d'Ivoire (lower right) — each accompanied by the respective republic's name and denomination 1500 FRANCS CFA in legend. The field behind the medallions is elaborately decorated with an intricate geometric guilloche pattern of intersecting curved lines, evoking unity and interconnection. The Mali medallion is rendered in contrasting proof-mirror finish, distinguishing it from the frosted finish of the surrounding field. Each national arms is rendered with fine detail consistent with high-relief proof striking. |
