| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC — serves six member nations across central Africa, none of which has any historical connection to ancient Anatolia. This coin belongs to a genre of sub-Saharan numismatic issues produced almost entirely for the international collector market, with mintages typically kept low enough to sustain secondary-market premiums. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, completed around 350 BC and largely destroyed by earthquakes between the 11th and 15th centuries, gave the word "mausoleum" to every modern language.
