| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues commemorative gold pieces under licensing arrangements that have little to do with the economic realities of the six member nations — Chad, Cameroon, the CAR, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — and everything to do with the European collector novelty market. At 0.031 g, this contains so little gold it sits below the threshold of most refiners' minimum processing weight.
