| Reverse description | The bold numeral '50' is prominently displayed in the center of the field, with the denomination 'FRANCS' inscribed immediately below in smaller lettering. Two upward-curving grain stalks flank the central denomination on either side, while an arrangement of various agricultural produce — including peanuts and other legumes — appears at the lower portion of the field, symbolizing the region's agricultural wealth. A fish motif is depicted above the numeral at the top of the inner field. The date appears in the exergue area at the bottom, flanked by small decorative elements, and the circular legend 'UNION MONETAIRE OUEST-AFRICAINE' runs along the full periphery. |
