| Additional information |
Togo's franc CFA issues from this period were produced under licensing arrangements that gave European private mints — primarily in Germany and Poland — broad latitude to develop commemorative themes with minimal involvement from Togolese monetary authorities. The elephant motif was recycled across multiple CFA-zone countries simultaneously, often with only the issuer name changed on otherwise identical dies.
