| Reverse description | Central device featuring a boldly rendered frontal antelope head, its sweeping horns framing a large decorative palm frond that fills the upper field, a composition characteristic of mid-twentieth-century French colonial coinage. Two fish are depicted symmetrically at the lower left and right of the antelope, referencing the coastal fauna of French Somaliland. The denomination 5 Fr·S is prominently displayed in the central field flanking the antelope. The territorial inscription COTE FRANÇAISE DES SOMALIS curves along the upper rim, and a beaded border frames the inner design. |
