100 Francs Mother Teresa

BEAC's trimetallic commemorative program of the early 2010s produced coins for circulation across six member states — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — a monetary union whose franc remains pegged to the euro via a French Treasury guarantee unchanged in structure since the CFA franc's creation in 1945. Mother Teresa, an Albanian-Indian Catholic nun with no particular connection to central Africa, appears here as part of a broader series of international humanitarian figures. The choice reflects the issuer's strategy of targeting the collector market rather than any regional historical relevance.
