10 000 Francs CFA Napoleon

This is a modern bullion-adjacent commemorative issued by BEAC — the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale — whose member states use the CFA franc pegged to the euro at 655.957 FCFA, a rate fixed in 1999 when it replaced the franc. The nominal face value of 10,000 francs CFA is essentially ceremonial against the silver content alone. Napoleon himself was instrumental in establishing the Banque de France in 1800, though the CFA franc's lineage runs through colonial-era monetary policy with no direct Napoleonic connection beyond the commemorative subject.
