| Obverse description | The national arms of Niger occupy the central field, depicting a shield flanked by two crossed spears on each side, with a sun and ox head motif at the centre of the shield and a ribbon below bearing the legend REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER. The country name REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER arcs along the upper rim in bold Latin lettering, while the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in two lines across the lower field. The design is struck in high relief against a polished mirror field. |

| Reverse description | The central field bears a full-colour photographic-style depiction of a hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) emerging from a blue river with its massive jaws open wide, rendered in vivid applied colour print against a background of water and sky. A small gold-plated sphere, representing the sun, is inset in the upper right portion of the field. The legend MAGNIFIQUE ANIMAUX AFRICAINS curves along the upper rim in raised Latin lettering, and the date 2012 appears to the right of the central design. The coin's milled border frames a beaded inner circle enclosing the coloured composition. |
