The Bank of Central African States issues currency for six nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — none of which has any indigenous elk population or cultural association with the species. These small-format gold pieces are struck entirely for the collector export market, bearing a denomination that bears no practical relation to their bullion value.
