| Reverse description | The central field features an elaborate allegorical composition symbolising agricultural and industrial development: two interlocking cogwheels are surrounded by a profusion of cultivated plants including maize, cotton, millet, and flowering shrubs, evoking the themes of the Operation Bokassa economic programme. The denomination FRANCS 20000 FRANCS is inscribed in bold gothic lettering along the lower arc, while the programme name OPERATION BOKASSA is curved above it in a secondary legend. The mintmark NI (Numismatique Internationale) appears as a small privy mark in the lower right field. |
