| Obverse description | The polished central field displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Mali, featuring a stylised escutcheon with crossed bow, arrows, and a rifle surmounted by a vulture with outstretched wings above a representation of the Great Mosque of Djenné. The national motto legend curves along the left and right periphery, while the country name arcs across the upper field and the denomination is inscribed in the lower central area. The entire design is set within a deeply textured outer border rendered in high relief to simulate the cratered and pitted surface of a meteorite, providing a striking contrast with the smooth inner field. |
