The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC — serves six member nations across central Africa, none of which have any historical or cultural connection to Chinese dragon mythology. These coins are struck for the international bullion and collector market, using the BEAC's issuing authority essentially as a licensing arrangement. Equatorial Guinea joined the franc zone as late as 1985, making it the most anomalous member; its participation underscores how thoroughly detached these issues are from the monetary lives of the populations nominally represented.
