| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing portrait bust of Jean-Bédel Bokassa occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed facial features and short beard. Flanking the portrait on either side are decorative arrangements of open hands, a motif associated with the republic's national symbolism. The upper legend curves around the periphery reading REPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE and 10e ANNIVERSAIRE DE L'INDEPENDANCE, with the dates 1960 and 1970 flanking the bust at mid-field. Below the portrait, the name JEAN BEDEL BOKASSA appears centrally, with the national motto UNITE TRAVAIL DIGNITE distributed in gothic-style lettering across the lower field. |
