| Obverse lettering | BANQUE CENTRALE CINQ MILLE FRANCS (Translation: Central Bank, Five Thousand Francs) |
| Reverse description | An elder man seated at right smoking a pipe forms the principal right-side vignette, with a traditional African carving at left. The central composition includes a steam train crossing a bridge, an aircraft in flight, and a tractor at work, symbolising economic development and modernisation. Decorative guilloche panels and ornamental borders frame the design, consistent with intaglio printing typical of Banque de France productions of the era. |
