| Additional information |
Struck to nominal face value under the CFA franc monetary zone, this micro-bullion piece exists primarily as a collector vehicle rather than anything approaching legal tender in practical use. The CFA franc itself has been pegged to the euro since 1999 at a fixed rate of 655.957 francs, a relationship underwritten by the French Treasury — which still guarantees convertibility, an arrangement that has drawn sustained criticism from African economists and politicians arguing it limits monetary autonomy for the fourteen member states.
