| Additional information |
The "Koala" branding here belongs to a product line developed for the fractional gold market, where sub-gram and one-gram pieces have carved out a retail niche among European stackers since roughly the 2010s. Ivory Coast's participation as issuing authority is largely nominal — the coins are produced under licensing arrangements and sold almost entirely outside the country, functioning as bullion instruments rather than anything approaching genuine circulating currency.
