| Additional information |
Francis I became Pope in March 2013 — the first Jesuit, the first from the Americas, the first to take that name. Togo, like several small African nations with limited numismatic infrastructure, has leaned heavily on licensed distributors and European minting contractors to produce commemorative issues timed to world events. These pieces move through the collector market rather than circulation channels.
