Senegal 500 Francs 2022, P-719K, UNC

Orange-brown engraving turns regional currency into a meeting of ancestral trade, digital touch and West African grassland.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse is anchored by the stylized sawfish figurine, BCEAO’s emblem of the CFA franc, set beside the map of Africa, electronic circuits and a hand touching a tablet screen. The registration device and layered orange security field give the small note a precise technical rhythm. Ancient exchange imagery and digital interface share the same surface, presenting the 500 francs as a note of continuity and modernization.

Reverse

The reverse shifts toward open grassland, where two hippopotamuses stand within a warm orange and green field beside the penal code text and BCEAO lettering. The animals give the note a grounded ecological counterpoint to the circuits and tablet on the obverse. This side keeps the regional character of the issue visible: nature, legal authority and monetary union held within one compact design.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this Senegal country-code variety belongs to the shared BCEAO 500 franc design used across the West African monetary union. The K country code identifies the Senegal issue, while the 2022 date places it within the later sequence of consistent variety lettering. The Yaya / Koné signature pairing, UMOA 500 security thread and sawfish watermark with electrotype denomination are the key details for separating it from neighboring country-code and year varieties.
