| Additional information |
Mali joined the CFA franc zone at independence in 1960, briefly withdrew to issue its own currency in 1962, then rejoined in 1984 — an unusual monetary reversal driven by IMF pressure and the failure of the Mali franc to stabilize. The "Petra" designation places this piece in a series of miniature gold issues struck for the collector market, bearing no meaningful connection to Mali's monetary history or circulation economy.
