| Obverse description | Central field bears the coat of arms of Niger, depicting a shield flanked by two crossed spears on each side, surmounted by a radiant sun, and supported by decorative elements with a scroll below bearing the legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER. The upper legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER arcs along the rim, while the denomination 1500 FRANCS CFA appears in the lower field. Both inscriptions are rendered in Latin characters on the antique-finish silver oval flan, separated from the central device by a dotted inner border. |

| Reverse description | A colorized woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is depicted in left profile, occupying the central field in vivid naturalistic color, with a genuine mammoth tusk insert positioned at left. The background features a polychrome Late Pleistocene landscape populated by additional woolly mammoths, equids, and at least one woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), rendered in detailed color printing. The scientific name MAMMUTHUS PRIMIGENIUS appears as the sole legend in the field. The overall composition conveys a dramatic prehistoric scene on the antique-finished oval silver flan. |
