| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-quarter frontal bust portrait of a Somba woman, depicted from the waist upward, bare-chested and wearing a beaded necklace and a wrapped cloth at the waist, rendered in high sculptural relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. Her hair is worn close to the head and she bears a composed, dignified expression. The legend FEMME SOMBA is inscribed in large capital letters along the lower arc of the coin. A beaded border frames the entire design, consistent with the obverse periphery. |
