| Aversbeschreibung | The coat of arms of Niger is depicted centrally in the field, comprising a shield charged with a radiating sun flanked by crossed spears and agricultural tools, supported by two curved elephant tusks. The denomination legend '25 FRS' appears prominently in the upper field above the arms. The national motto 'FRATERNITÉ-TRAVAIL-PROGRÈS' (Brotherhood, Work, Progress) arcs along the upper periphery, while the date '1968' is inscribed at the base, all set within a beaded border. |

Niger's 1968 gold issues, including this piece, were struck in the immediate aftermath of independence-era nation-building, when several Francophone West African states commissioned prestige coinage primarily for international sale rather than domestic circulation. The Barbary sheep — found across the Saharan and sub-Saharan fringe — was a deliberate choice to project a distinct national identity separate from the CFA franc monetary union that governed everyday commerce.
Actual circulation of these coins within Niger was essentially nil. Produced in limited quantities by the Paris Mint, they functioned as collector and diplomatic pieces from the outset.
