Burkina Faso has issued collector coinage through the Monnaie de Paris and various private minting arrangements since the 1990s, with much of the program driven by numismatic export revenue rather than domestic circulation needs. The "Magic Boots" issue belongs to a wave of novelty-themed silver rounds produced for the European collector market in the mid-2010s, a category that drew persistent criticism from purists for diluting the catalog of legitimate national issues.
KM#90 saw extremely limited actual distribution in Burkina Faso itself.
