1000 Francs CFA African Big Five - Rhinoceros, Colored

Burkina Faso has no rhinoceroses and hasn't for well over a century. The "African Big Five" bullion and collector series issued under CFA franc authority during the 2010s was a commercial product aimed squarely at the European novelty coin market, with design and distribution handled largely by external minting agents rather than the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. The issuing nation's involvement was essentially nominal — a licensing arrangement that provided legal tender status in exchange for a fee.
