| Additional information |
Mother Teresa was canonised by Pope Francis on 4 September 2016, completing a canonisation process that had been expedited under a special Vatican waiver — her beatification in 2003 had itself required a second-miracle verification that took over a decade to resolve. Ivory Coast has no particular historical connection to Teresa or to the Catholic missionary work she conducted in Calcutta, and this issue belongs squarely to the country's prolific commemorative program targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation.
