1000 Francs CFA Great Wall of China

Gabon has issued commemorative silver under the Central African CFA franc system for decades, but the currency itself is managed by the BEAC — the Bank of Central African States — meaning Gabon holds no independent monetary authority over these issues. The Great Wall series is produced for the collector market, not circulation, and finds its primary buyers in China and among European dealers who bundle such pieces into themed sets.

KM#197 is among dozens of near-identical sovereign mint programs where the named issuer contributes little beyond licensing rights.
