To the right, three palm trees rise in a stylized grouping, evoking the landscape of the Horn of Africa. The circular legend CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while DJIBOUTI appears along the lower periphery, separated by small decorative stops. The date 1921 is inscribed in the exergue beneath the gazelle.
