| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Senegal is prominently displayed in the centre of the field, depicting a quartered shield with a lion passant and a baobab tree, flanked by two palm fronds forming a wreath, surmounted by a five-pointed star. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU SENEGAL arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 250 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower periphery. A ribbon below the shield bears the national motto UN BUT UNE FOI in the exergue area. The design is rendered in high relief with a polished proof finish. |

The ship features multiple lateen-rigged sails and a low, elongated hull characteristic of a traditional dhow or pirogue. The legend AUF DEM WASSER and TRADITIONSSEGELN arc along the upper periphery separated by a bullet point, with the year 2019 divided across the lower field flanking the vessel. The fineness and weight inscription 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD appears along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Senegal issues coinage nominally denominated in CFA francs under the West African Economic and Monetary Union, though the BCEAO — the regional central bank — does not authorize these small gold collector pieces for general circulation. They are struck under licensing arrangements with private mints, typically in Europe, and sold directly into the numismatic market. The 250 franc face value is essentially decorative against any gold spot price.
