| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse features a bold high-relief effigy of an adult elephant facing forward, set against a richly colored background depicting a cosmic scene with deep blue nebulae and starfields. A striking meteorite with radiating light beams is prominently rendered in the left field, with additional colored depictions of celestial and terrestrial elements including grasses in the lower field. A small inset real meteorite fragment is embedded at center right, highlighted against the starfield. The curved legend SPIRIT OF AFRICA arcs along the upper left rim, with the fineness mark 1 OZ AG.999 and the date 2016 positioned along the right rim. |

Burkina Faso has issued coins through the Monnaie de Paris and various private minting houses under licensing arrangements that have, since the 1990s, produced a steady stream of collector-market issues bearing little relationship to domestic monetary use. This piece belongs squarely in that category — a legal-tender denomination on paper, a bullion novelty in practice.
The meteorite inclusion, if genuine, is most likely sourced from the Saharan material trade, where fragments of classified falls are legally harvested and sold to mints and jewelers in bulk. NWA-series meteorites recovered in Burkina Faso and neighboring Mali account for a significant portion of the global classified meteorite market.
