| Beschrijving keerzijde | A colorized panoramic scene depicts the rooftops and church steeple of the French town of Château-Renard rendered in antique silver relief against a vivid deep-blue and violet night sky filled with stars. A luminous comet with a bright blue-green tail streaks dramatically across the upper field, with a meteorite fragment depicted in the foreground of the sky, commemorating the 1841 meteorite fall. The toponym 'CHÂTEAU-RENARD' is inscribed along the upper arc in raised Latin letters, while 'FRANCE 1841 – 2016' appears in the lower field along with the purity and weight inscription '1 OZ AG .999' along the right inner border. The colorization technique is applied exclusively to the celestial background, contrasting sharply with the antique silver townscape. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Château Renard is a medieval fortress in the Loiret department of France, which raises an immediate question for the collector: why is a landlocked West African nation issuing silver commemoratives for a French château. The answer is strictly commercial — Burkina Faso, like several other CFA franc member states, has licensed its minting authority to produce numismatic issues with no domestic circulation intent, sold directly into the European collector market.
These pieces are struck by private minting contractors, not the BCEAO.
