| Obverse description | A Gallic rooster standing left in high relief occupies the central field, serving as the principal national symbol of France. A small heraldic shield bearing the monogram 'RF' (République Française) is placed in the upper right field above the rooster's head. The circular legend 'AFRIQUE EQUATORIALE FRANCAISE LIBRE' runs along the periphery, interrupted at the base by the engraver's initials. The design reflects the Free French administration's assertion of sovereignty over the territory during World War II. |
