| Additional information |
Niger's "Unified Nations" issues are part of a broader wave of sub-gram gold collector pieces struck under licensing arrangements common among West African CFA franc states, where the issuing country lends its monetary authority to coins produced entirely for the collector market and never intended for domestic circulation. The actual striking was almost certainly contracted to a European mint.
At 0.5 g of .9999 fine gold, the intrinsic metal value hovers just above $30 at most spot prices — a figure that tells the whole story of what this piece is.
