| Obverse description | Central to the field, the stylised emblem of the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest — a traditional West African ceremonial mask or figurine rendered in high relief — is flanked on either side by the large denomination numerals '5' and the abbreviation 'F.' Two small mint privy marks appear at the left and right periphery. The circular legend 'BANQUE CENTRALE' arcs across the upper field, while 'ÉTATS DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST' curves along the lower portion, all rendered in bold upright Latin lettering. |
