Below the shield appears a decorative medal or order device. The circular legend RÉPUBLIQUE DU SÉNÉGAL arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 250 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Senegal issues coins under the BCEAO framework — the West African Economic and Monetary Union — meaning this piece carries the CFA franc designation despite being a bullion/commemorative product with no practical circulation history. Gandhi has no particular biographical connection to Senegal; his appearance here reflects the broader market for internationally themed micro-gold issues produced for collectors rather than any regional historical relationship.
