The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2021 below it. The denomination 100 FRANCS CFA appears in two lines along the lower portion of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts faithful renderings of both the obverse and reverse of the iconic 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin of the United States, presented side by side within a beaded inner circle. The left design shows the Standing Liberty figure with torch raised aloft as seen on the Double Eagle obverse, while the right shows the eagle in flight as on its reverse. Multiple legends referencing the original coin's inscriptions surround the design, with the denomination 20 DOLLARS and the date 1933 prominently featured. |

| Additional information |
A 40 mm coin weighing 0.16 grams is physically possible only as an extraordinarily thin wafer — the gold content here is nominal at best, a vanishingly small fraction of a gram spread across a large planchet. Niger has no independent gold minting tradition; these pieces are produced under licensing arrangements by private European mints targeting the collector market, with the dual denomination satisfying a legal tender technicality rather than any actual monetary function.
