| Reverse description | The central vignette shows a muscular West African boatman in close foreground, gripping a long pole as he propels a pirogue; two additional figures are visible in the middle ground paddling long canoes across a calm, expansive waterway with low hills on the horizon. The denomination abbreviation '5 Frs' appears in red at upper left and upper right, and a rectangular white panel at right centre serves as the watermark window. A legal warning in French is printed in a panel at the lower centre. |
