| Obverse description | The central field features the interlaced monogram 'RF' (République Française) in large stylized letters, surmounted by a Phrygian cap with a rosette, the traditional symbol of French liberty. A central round hole pierces the coin, incorporated naturally into the design. The encircling legend reads 'AFRIQUE EQUATORIALE FRANÇAISE' along the periphery, separated from the dentillated border. The design is engraved in a bold, Art Deco-influenced style characteristic of Lindauer's work. |
