The legend REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals. Below the animal, the date 1969 appears in the mid-field, with the denomination 2 1/2 SHILLINGS inscribed in large raised characters across the lower field, flanked by small floral ornaments at either side. The border is formed by a continuous ring of raised beads. |
