| Aanvullende informatie |
Ivory Coast's sole silver coinage, this 1966 issue was struck to mark the fifth anniversary of independence from France. Houphouët-Boigny had spent decades in French politics before independence — he served in the French National Assembly and cabinet — and his government's decision to issue a commemorative in sterling silver rather than the aluminum-bronze of everyday CFA circulation reflected deliberate statecraft: these were presentation pieces aimed at foreign dignitaries and international audiences, not pocket change.
The CFA franc itself remained under French monetary administration throughout, leaving Ivory Coast with no independent currency to celebrate. This coin was essentially the only object the republic could call its own monetary issue.
