The denomination 500 FRANCS CFA appears in large raised letters along the lower rim, with the date 2023 and fineness mark Ag 999 inscribed in the central field. |

| Reverse description | The Libra zodiac symbol and its corresponding star constellation are depicted at centre beneath a large magnifying glass, rendered against a deep night sky background with colour application evoking the cosmos. The twelve zodiac signs are arranged decoratively around the periphery of the design, framing the central motif. The composition combines astronomical and astrological imagery in a stylised, contemporary manner characteristic of modern collector issues from the Mint of Poland. |
