| Obverse description | At center, a raised circular inset bears the national arms of Gabon — a shield supported by two black panthers, with a sailing ship and an okume tree, surmounted by the legend REPUBLIQUE GABONAISE — surrounded by the denomination 3000 FRANCS CFA below. Radiating outward across the broader field is a highly detailed collage depicting the full spectrum of modern and future warfare: a hooded cyber-warfare operative seated before a laptop bearing a hand grenade motif occupies the lower center, his face rendered in binary code; the surrounding field features a military satellite, fighter jets, an unmanned aerial drone, a battle tank, an assault rifle, a warship with gun turrets, a military helicopter, and a military officer's cap, all interspersed with chains and streams of binary digits encircling the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an expansive, high-relief battle scene depicting ancient naval warfare, consistent with the Battle of Actium (31 BC), rendered in meticulous detail across the full field of the coin. Multiple oar-driven warships with billowing sails and raised standards clash upon turbulent waters, their oars broken and hulls colliding amid churning waves; a figure struggles in the water in the lower foreground, conveying the chaos and human cost of the engagement. The legend WAR HAS NO REAL WINNER arcs in italic script along the upper field, serving as the thematic inscription of the issue. |
