| Obverse description | The Nigerian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a black shield bearing a white wavy band (representing the River Niger) flanked by two white horses rampant as supporters. An eagle with wings displayed surmounts the shield as crest, and a scroll below bears the national motto in the legend 'UNITY AND FAITH'. The circular legend 'FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the date appears in large numerals at the bottom of the field, separated from the legend by two raised dots. |
