| Reverse description | A scene depicting the stilt village of Ganvié on Lake Nokoué forms the principal design: a standing figure poles a pirogue through water in the central field, accompanied by two children seated in the boat, while a traditional thatched stilt house is rendered in detail to the right. In the lower field, the UN 50th anniversary commemorative logo — comprising the United Nations emblem alongside a stylised numeral 50 — appears at centre-right, flanked by the place name GANVIE below the boat and the dual dates 1945 - 1995 along the bottom exergue. The legend NATIONS UNIES POUR LA PAIX arcs along the upper periphery. |
