A ribbon banner at the top of the arms bears the legend 'BURKINA FASO', while a lower scroll carries the national motto 'Unité Progrès Justice'.

| Reverse description | Two juvenile Smilodon (saber-toothed cats) are depicted in intimate high-relief portraiture, their faces turned toward one another in a naturalistic and affectionate pose, with finely rendered spotted fur, prominent proto-sabers, and expressive facial features filling the entire field. The antique finish enhances the sculptural depth of the composition. The legend 'SMILODON CHILDREN 2013' arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription '10 OZ AG .999' appears below it, denoting the silver content and purity of the coin. |
