| Additional information |
Burkina Faso has issued commemorative coinage through the Monnaie de Paris and various private minting arrangements since gaining independence in 1960 — first as Upper Volta, renamed under Thomas Sankara's 1984 revolution. The Moses Exodus issue belongs to a wave of biblically themed commemoratives produced for the collector market, minted under CFA franc authority but designed entirely for export sale rather than domestic circulation. Burkina Faso itself is predominantly Muslim and animist; these coins were never intended to circulate within the issuing country.
The KM#122.1 designation suggests a variant within a numbered sub-series, likely distinguished by a specific colorization or insert from a companion piece.
