| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold, high-relief effigy of President Diori Hamani occupies the central field, depicted in a near-frontal bust portrait with his head turned slightly to the left, wearing eyeglasses and a suit and tie. The portrait is rendered in a photographic style typical of commemorative issues of the period. The legend PRESIDENT DIORI HAMANI arcs along the upper rim, while REPUBLIQUE DU NIGER curves along the lower rim, both separated by raised dot stops at each side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niger gained independence from France on August 3, 1960, and this issue was struck to mark the occasion — one of several West African nations that commissioned commemorative silver pieces through the Paris Mint in that transitional year. France retained close monetary ties with its former territories through the CFA franc zone, making a silver independence commemorative something of a political curiosity: a sovereign gesture produced entirely within the infrastructure of the departing colonial power.
KM#5 is scarce in any grade; total mintage was extremely limited, and examples rarely appear outside specialist West African collections.
