| 背面描述 | A detailed portrait bust of the Renaissance master Michelangelo is rendered in high relief to the left of centre, depicting the bearded artist in three-quarter view facing slightly right, dressed in a draped garment. To his right stands a reduced but faithfully rendered effigy of his celebrated marble sculpture David, shown in full figure on a small pedestal. The legend MICHELANGELO arcs along the upper periphery in serif lettering. A cursive facsimile of Michelangelo's signature is inscribed across the lower centre field, flanked by the metal specifications 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD in the lower left and lower field respectively. |

Ivory Coast has issued commemorative gold coinage under the CFA franc denomination since the early 2000s, typically through arrangements with European minting houses targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation. These pieces never enter the Ivorian economy in any meaningful sense — they are produced for export to numismatic retailers almost immediately upon striking.
KM#239 falls within a long run of similar issues pairing the CFA franc authority with Renaissance and Baroque subject matter, a commercial formula with no particular connection to West African history or culture.
