| Reverse description | A facing portrait of Mahatma Gandhi dominates the central field, depicted with his characteristic shaved head, round wire-rimmed spectacles, and a gentle expression rendered in fine relief against a polished background. The legend MAHATMA GANDHI curves along the upper periphery, flanked by two small dots. The date range 1948-2018, commemorating the 70th anniversary of his assassination, appears to the lower right of the portrait, while the fineness inscription 1/2 G .999 FINE GOLD is placed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Senegal issues coins under the BCEAO framework — the West African Economic and Monetary Union — meaning this piece carries the CFA franc designation despite being a bullion/commemorative product with no practical circulation history. Gandhi has no particular biographical connection to Senegal; his appearance here reflects the broader market for internationally themed micro-gold issues produced for collectors rather than any regional historical relationship.
