| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of President Jean-Bedel Bokassa occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed facial features. The upper legend arcs across the obverse reading REPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE followed by 10e ANNIVERSAIRE DE L'INDEPENDANCE, flanked by the dates 1960 and 1970. Below the portrait, the name JEAN BEDEL BOKASSA is inscribed, with the national motto UNITE - TRAVAIL - DIGNITE (Unity, Work, Dignity) arranged around the lower field. Decorative motifs resembling stylized hand-print patterns appear symmetrically in the left and right fields, serving as ornamental borders to the central effigy. |
