| Obverse description | Central field features the Biafra Free State coat of arms, depicting a shield charged with a rising sun above a stylised floral device, supported on either side by rampant leopards. Above the shield, a crest of an eagle with wings displayed and spread stands upon a curved elephant tusk. Below the supporters, a ribbon banner bears the motto legend. The circular legend 'BIAFRA FREE STATE' arcs along the upper rim, while the date '2022' appears in the exergue below the arms. |

| Additional information |
Biafra ceased to exist as a state in January 1970, when federal Nigerian forces ended the secession after a brutal 30-month civil war. This 2022 issue is not a historical artifact but a modern fantasy piece — no sovereign entity called Biafra has issued legal tender since the surrender. Such items are produced speculatively, typically marketed to diaspora communities or conflict-history collectors, and carry no governmental authority whatsoever.
