| Additional information |
Burkina Faso has issued commemorative coinage under the CFA franc system for decades, but the issuing authority in practice is typically a private mint operating under license rather than the BCEAO — these pieces are produced for the collector market and never circulate in West Africa. The Martin Luther connection is chronological: 2017 marked the 500th anniversary of Luther's posting of the Ninety-Five Theses, which triggered a wave of commemorative issues from dozens of issuing states worldwide, many with no historical connection to the subject.
