Additional information

Burkina Faso has no monetary authority of its own — it uses the West African CFA franc issued by the BCEAO, which means these collector pieces are struck under licensing arrangements entirely disconnected from the country's actual currency system. The Loch Ness issue is one of dozens of such fantasy coins attributed to Burkina Faso by European bullion and novelty coin producers, typically marketed through dealers in Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic.

The KM# assignment suggests catalog inclusion, but that number was allocated rather than earned through any meaningful state minting program.
