Additional information

The Bank of Central African States — known by its French acronym BEAC — serves six member nations simultaneously: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Bullion issues of this type are struck outside the monetary union's operational territory entirely, typically contracted to European mints, which gives them an oddly offshore character for coins bearing a Central African nominal value. The 1000 franc face value is essentially ceremonial — a legal-tender peg to the CFA franc zone that no one is expected to redeem at face.
