| Reverse description | A coloured central medallion depicts a sleek sailplane gliding in flight over a stylised aerial view of patchwork agricultural fields rendered with fine line engraving. A second glider is visible in the background sky, conveying a sense of altitude and open airspace. The coloured insert contrasts against the surrounding polished gold border. The German legends IN DER LUFT and SEGELFLUG arc symmetrically around the upper portion of the rim, separated by raised dot stops. The date 2019 is divided at the lower sides of the central disc, flanked by the specifications 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Senegal issues its coinage under the West African Economic and Monetary Union framework, with the CFA franc governed by the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest — meaning Paris, not Dakar, has historically controlled the currency's peg to the euro and its predecessor, the French franc. This piece belongs to a wave of small-format fractional gold issues that flooded the collector market in the late 2010s, produced by European private mints on behalf of WAEMU member states largely as bullion novelties with no meaningful domestic circulation.
