| Additional information |
The Nao Victoria commemorates the first circumnavigation of the globe, completed in 1522 by the last surviving ship of Magellan's original fleet of five. Magellan himself never finished the voyage — he was killed in the Philippines in April 1521 — and it was Juan Sebastián Elcano who brought the Victoria and its depleted crew of eighteen back to Seville.
Senegal's participation in this series reflects the broader West African CFA franc zone's use of commemorative issues as a revenue mechanism rather than circulating coinage.
