Ivory Coast has issued commemorative gold pieces under the CFA franc framework since the mid-2000s, exploiting a legal provision that allows member states of the West African Economic and Monetary Union to produce collector coinage denominated in CFA francs despite having no independent monetary authority. The arrangement is effectively a licensing agreement — the coins are legal tender in name only, produced for the European collector market with no expectation of circulation.
Napoleon's Hundred Days campaign ended at Waterloo in June 1815, exactly two centuries before this series gained commercial momentum.
