| Obverse description | Three-dimensional sculptural effigy of Euphrosyne, one of the three Graces of Greek mythology, rendered as a full-length standing nude female figure in antique finish silver. The figure is depicted from the rear, her body turned slightly, with arms extended gracefully at her sides and her hair arranged in an upswept classical coiffure. She stands upon a rectangular plinth base on which the coin's inscriptions appear. A separate flat rectangular plaque in the lower left bears a circular seal or hallmark in the field. |

| Additional information |
The BEAC issues commemorative coinage on behalf of six member states — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — under a shared monetary union whose franc zone arrangement dates to the post-independence restructuring of the early 1960s. Euphrosyne is one of the three Charites of Greek mythology, the goddess of mirth and good cheer, an unusual subject for a central African monetary authority and almost certainly chosen by an external bullion program rather than any regional cultural imperative.
