| Additional information |
Gabon is a member of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, whose monetary policy is controlled by the BEAC — meaning Gabon issues no gold coinage through any domestic monetary necessity whatsoever. These fractional gold pieces are produced entirely for the international bullion and collector market, commissioned through private minting arrangements. The springbok is native to southern Africa, not central Africa, which tells you everything about the numismatic logic at work here.
