| Obverse description | The obverse features a large numeral '5' in the centre of the field, flanked on the left by a stylised coconut palm tree rendered in fine detail. To the right, a flowering tropical plant and a coastal dwelling with a thatched roof are depicted in low relief, evoking the natural landscape of the Comoros Islands. The date appears in the upper right field. The circular legend 'BANQUE CENTRALE DES COMORES' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 'FRANCS' is inscribed on a raised panel at the base of the design. |
