| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central design features two palm trees of differing heights rising from a low, undulating desert landscape rendered in fine relief. The trees are depicted with characteristic feathered fronds splaying outward at the crown. The legend SÉNÉGAL arcs across the upper field in widely spaced capital letters, following the inner border of a beaded rim. The date 1921 appears in the lower field beneath the palms, flanked by the sandy terrain motif. The overall composition is enclosed within a continuous beaded border. |

Ziguinchor's Chamber of Commerce issued this token during a chronic small-change shortage that plagued French West Africa throughout the early 1920s, when metropolitan France could not supply sufficient low-denomination coinage to the colonies. Local chambers of commerce across Senegal, Guinea, and Côte d'Ivoire stepped into the vacuum, issuing their own brass nécessité pieces with the tacit approval of colonial authorities. Ziguinchor itself was a minor trading post on the Casamance River, geographically isolated from Dakar by the Gambia — a British enclave that complicated overland supply at every turn.
