Additional information

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times before its final demolition by a Gothic raid in 262 AD — a structure so large it took roughly 120 years to complete its most celebrated iteration. Ivory Coast's participation in the commemorative bullion market is purely a licensing arrangement; the country has no historical connection to the subject matter, a common practice among West African CFA franc issuers seeking premium collector revenue.
