Gold Half Gram (0.5 g), Coin Type from Senegal (issued 2020 - )

Coin Type	Gold Half Gram (0.5 g)

Senegal uses the West African CFA Franc as its circulation currency, together with seven other states in West Africa which make up the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA; Union Économique et Monétaire Ouest Africaine): Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger and Togo. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO; Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest), and - unlike for example the Euro - its coins are not marked with an individual country of issue.

Some of the member countries however issue non-circulating collector and commemorative coinage, which Senegal has been doing since 1968. Some of these coins are in the internationally popular half gram (0.5g) of gold mini-coin collector format.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin shows at its centre the Coat of Arms of Senegal. This consists of a shield divided vertically into two parts: in the left half, a standing lion; in the right part, a baobab tree below which a wavy line representing the Senegal River. Above the shield, a five-pointed star.

The shield is surrounded by palm leaves tied with a ribbon, on which the national motto is inscribed: UN PEUPLE, UN BUT, UNE FOI (translated from French: "One People, One Goal, One Faith"). Below the ribbon, the five-sided pendant of the National Order of the Lion.

Around above, the name of the issuing country in French (its official language): RÉPUBLIQUE DU SÉNÉGAL (Republic of Senegal).

Around below, the nominal face value 250 FRANCS CFA (two hundred and fifty West African CFA Francs).
