| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a series of pattern coins produced by the Monnaie de Paris for French Equatorial Africa and related colonial administrations in the early 1930s, a period when Paris was actively rationalizing its colonial monetary systems. Patterns in silver-plated bronze from this program were presentation and approval pieces, not intended for circulation — struck to demonstrate proposed denominations to colonial administrators and the French Ministry of Finance.
Leccompte 161 is among the scarcer documented references in the colonial pattern series. Survivors appear almost exclusively in institutional and specialist collections.
