| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a group of racing cyclists in engraved relief set against a mirror-polished field, the leading rider wearing the iconic polka dot jersey rendered in applied color with red dots on a white ground. To the right, a large color-applied representation of the polka dot jersey (maillot à pois rouges) is shown in full, bearing the Tour de France logo. The official Tour de France script logo appears in the upper center field with a yellow-colored dot accent. The legend MAILLOT À POIS ROUGES arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2018 is inscribed along the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Djibouti has no cycling tradition to speak of and has never sent a competitor to the Tour de France. The country's monetary authority periodically licenses its name to novelty bullion producers — primarily European firms targeting the collector gift market — resulting in issues like this one that bear no meaningful connection to the issuing nation.
