| Reverse description | A stylized silhouette of a seated meditating figure in the lotus position occupies the central field, set against a background of layered, stylized lotus petal forms arranged in a mandala pattern. Seven Swarovski crystal inserts are aligned vertically along the figure's central axis, representing the seven chakras; the uppermost crystal is pink, while the remaining six are clear. Sanskrit seed syllables (bija mantras) are inscribed within the petal lobes surrounding the figure, rendered in Devanagari script. The antique finish lends the entire composition a contemplative, spiritual aesthetic. |

| Additional information |
The Sahasrara is the crown chakra in Hindu and Tantric tradition, associated with transcendence and spiritual enlightenment — a concept with no particular connection to the six BEAC member states of central Africa. These chakra-themed issues are frankly collector novelties, produced under license for the international bullion and numismatic gift market rather than any domestic monetary purpose. The Swarovski crystal inserts are contractually specified; the Austrian firm has supplied crystals for dozens of similar issues across multiple nominal issuers.
