100 Francs CFA Saturn

Mali's CFA franc coinage is issued under the West African Economic and Monetary Union, meaning the Bamako government exercises no independent monetary policy — these small gold pieces are effectively authorized novelties rather than functional currency. The 0.5g format places this squarely in the modern bullion-souvenir category that various WAEMU member states have licensed to European minting houses, primarily to capture collector markets with low entry-cost precious metal pieces.
