| Additional information |
Ivory Coast's numismatic program has issued dozens of small-format gold pieces under the West African CFA franc authority, most of them aimed squarely at the collector bullion market rather than any domestic circulation. Bastet, an Egyptian deity, has no particular connection to Ivorian history or culture — her appearance here reflects the era's broader trend of African-issuing-authority coins adopting pan-continental or ancient-world themes to drive export sales to European and Asian collectors.
