10 000 Francs CFA Maria

This is one of a cluster of large-format silver kilogram issues produced for Burkina Faso by the Monnaie de Paris under licensing arrangements that became increasingly common among West African CFA franc nations in the 2010s. The coins are legal tender in name, but the face value of 10,000 CFA francs — roughly €15 at the time of issue — bears no relation to the silver melt value, and they never entered circulation in any meaningful sense.
