| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1500 Francs CFA denomination exists almost entirely as a collector vehicle — it has no practical circulation role in the BCEAO monetary zone, where the highest everyday coin is 500 Francs. Issues at this weight and fineness are produced under licensing arrangements with European minting houses, typically Arthus-Bertrand in Paris, and the issuing central bank exercises little editorial control over the final product.
The African Unity theme has appeared across multiple years and issuers in the CFA franc zone, making KM# attribution the only reliable way to distinguish individual releases in a crowded series.
