| Additional information |
Togo's coinage authority has issued a long-running series of silver-plated commemoratives through the Scottsdale Mint and similar third-party producers, targeting the collector market rather than circulation. These pieces were never intended to function as currency and were sold directly to distributors. KM# 107 is one of dozens of similar issues from this program.
