| Additional information |
This fractional piece is part of a wave of sub-half-gram gold issues produced for the Franco-African CFA zone states, most of them struck by European private mints operating under licensing arrangements rather than any national mint infrastructure. Ivory Coast has no domestic mint; coins issued under its authority are typically produced in Germany, France, or Austria.
The "Germany Gold Euro" designation places this squarely in the souvenir and collector novelty category — legal tender in name only, with face value bearing no relationship to metal content.
