| Reverse description | Central field bears a large numeral '1' in bold relief, above which the Biafran eagle — displayed with wings elevated and bearing a decorated perch or horn beneath its talons — is prominently placed. The date 1969 appears in the upper field directly below the eagle's head. The legend REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA arcs around the upper periphery, while SHILLING curves along the lower border, all in raised Latin lettering. Small four-petalled floral ornaments flank the numeral on either side. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
