Reverse description The reverse displays a finely engraved frontal portrait of a kob antelope, its long curved horns rising prominently above its head, surrounded by an artistic arrangement of tropical agricultural plants including maize and millet stalks flanking both sides. A decorative border of beaded chain motifs frames the central composition near the rim. The engravers' signatures 'G.B.L.BAZOR' appear to the lower left within the field, and the date of issue is struck at the bottom center. The design reflects the naturalistic engraving style of the Monnaie de Paris workshops.
