| Additional information |
The "Maat" designation places this piece within a growing category of fractional gold issues produced for the collector market rather than any domestic monetary purpose — Burundi has issued coins of this type under licensing arrangements with European minting houses, most commonly Helvetic Mint, using the country's nominal authority while targeting international bullion and novelty collectors. At 0.311 g of fine gold, the actual metal content is almost incidental to the purchase.
