The names of the six member nations — BENIN, NIGER, COTE D'IVOIRE, SENEGAL, HAUTE VOLTA, and TOGO — are inscribed in the field surrounding the central motif. The denomination 5000 FRANCS appears in large bold numerals in the lower portion of the field, with the date 1982 below. The surrounding legend RENFORCEMENT DE LA SOLIDARITE ET DE LA COHESION DE L'UNION MONETAIRE encircles the design along the periphery, interrupted by the same triangular punched ornamental border as the obverse.
