| Obverse lettering | 25 FRANCS ESSAI BANQUE CENTRALE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST (Translation: Trial Central Bank of [the] West African States) |
| Reverse description | A three-quarter length figure of an African woman is depicted in high relief at centre, shown in profile facing right, her arms raised as she operates a traditional drop spindle, holding the weighted spindle whorl aloft with one hand while guiding the fibre with the other. A distaff or frame element is visible to the right of the figure, evoking themes of traditional craft and agricultural productivity consistent with the FAO coinage programme. The date '1980' is inscribed in the upper field above the figure, with no additional legend. |
