| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of Senegal prominently centered in the field, comprising a quartered shield displaying a lion passant and a baobab tree, flanked by two symmetrical branches of olive and palm. A five-pointed star surmounts the shield, and a decorative medal or order hangs below on a ribbon. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU SENEGAL arcs across the upper field in bold capital letters, while the denomination 250 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower margin. The national motto UN PEUPLE UN BUT UNE FOI appears on a scroll at the base of the arms. |

| Additional information |
Senegal's 250 Francs CFA issues in this micro-gold format are produced under licensing arrangements common among West African CFA franc states, where the actual striking is typically contracted to European mints — most often in Poland or the Czech Republic — with the issuing country's nominal authority lending little more than its name. These pieces are aimed squarely at the novelty collector market and never circulate in Senegal.
