Additional information

Max und Moritz, Wilhelm Busch's 1865 illustrated story of two incorrigible boys, was among the first narrative comic works to influence what would eventually become the modern comic strip — a lineage that runs directly to the American Sunday funnies and beyond. The Central African CFA franc zone issuing a gold piece commemorating a 19th-century German satirical children's tale is a straightforwardly commercial decision, part of the broader wave of tiny fractional gold coins produced for the collector bullion market rather than any domestic cultural connection.
