| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Senegal is centrally positioned in the field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a lion passant and a baobab tree, flanked by two symmetrical olive branches and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The motto scrolls read 'UN PEUPLE', 'UNE FOI', and 'UN BUT' on the shield and supporting ribbon. The legend 'RÉPUBLIQUE DU SÉNÉGAL' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The denomination '250 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed in large characters along the lower portion of the field. A decorative rosette device appears between the coat of arms and the denomination. |

| Additional information |
Senegal has no meaningful numismatic tradition with gold fractionals of this type — this piece is a product of the licensed coin program model, where the BCEAO nominally authorizes issues that are designed, marketed, and distributed entirely by European trading houses, primarily for the collector market. The Pteranodon subject has no geographic or cultural connection to Senegal whatsoever.
