| Reverse description | A seated French Bulldog rendered in high sculptural relief dominates the central field, depicted in a naturalistic three-quarter frontal pose with characteristic bat ears, compact muscular body, and attentive expression. A stylised French landscape featuring a stone building and rolling countryside is incuse in the background field. The series title WORLD FAMOUS DOGS arcs along the upper legend, flanked by a paw-print motif to the left. The word France appears in script to the left mid-field and French Bulldog in italic lettering to the right. The purity and weight notation 1 oz Au 9999 is inscribed in the lower field within a lozenge cartouche. A beaded border encircles the design. |

| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC — serves six member nations across central Africa, none of which has any particular cultural or economic connection to the French Bulldog. These coins are bullion products minted explicitly for the international collector market, leveraging the BEAC's authority to issue legal tender while the coins themselves are designed, marketed, and distributed almost entirely outside the member states.
One troy ounce of .9999 fine gold struck under a central African monetary authority and sold to European hobbyists. The issuing jurisdiction is essentially nominal.
