Additional information

Niger's numismatic program has, since the 2010s, been largely administered through the Monnaie de Paris under licensing arrangements that allow the sovereign name to appear on coins with no practical domestic circulation. This Gulliver's Travels piece is part of a broader wave of sub-Saharan CFA-zone issues produced explicitly for the international collector market. Swift's 1726 novel was published anonymously — he feared prosecution for its political satire of the Walpole government and the English court.
