| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Senegal is prominently displayed at the centre of the field, featuring a quartered shield with a lion passant and a baobab tree, flanked by two palm fronds and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU SENEGAL arcs along the upper periphery, while the motto UN PEUPLE UN BUT UNE FOI appears on a ribbon at the base of the arms. The denomination 250 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in the lower field. The design is rendered in sharp relief against a polished gold field. |

| Additional information |
Senegal joined a crowded field of West African CFA-zone states issuing fractional gold coins under collector-market licensing arrangements — the actual minting contracted out to European private mints, with the issuing country's involvement largely nominal. These small-denomination gold pieces circulate nowhere and are priced entirely on bullion premium and collector demand rather than face value.
