Beschrijving keerzijde	A high-relief scene depicts Moses, robed and bearded, raising his right hand with one finger extended in admonition as he confronts the Pharaoh, who is shown in full Egyptian regalia including a nemes headdress and broad collar. The background is richly detailed with Egyptian architectural elements, hieroglyphic friezes, and temple reliefs, evoking the biblical Exodus narrative. A nano chip is embedded in the upper middle portion of the field. The legend LET MY PEOPLE GO arcs along the upper border, and the date 2015 appears in the exergue.

Aanvullende informatie	Burkina Faso has issued commemorative coinage under the CFA franc system since the early 2000s, with the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest authorizing a steady stream of large-format silver pieces marketed almost entirely to European and North American collectors — not to any domestic circulation. The country itself is roughly 60% Muslim, making a Moses/Exodus theme an unusual editorial choice for an official issue, though thematic content on these pieces is selected by the contracted minting and distribution firms rather than by Burkinabè authorities.
