Reverse description	Bold left-facing portrait bust of a young African woman rendered in high sculptural relief, with intricately detailed cornrow braids gathered at the nape of the neck. The finely modeled facial features fill the upper left portion of the field. The legend BANQUE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE CENTRALE is inscribed in the right and lower field in multiple lines. The word ESSAI appears as an inscription denoting pattern status. The coin is struck within an octagonal inner border set against a round flan.
