| Additional information |
Gabon's franc CFA issues of this period were produced under the Central Bank of Central African States (BEAC), which means the actual minting authorization involved coordination across six member nations — Gabon being one of the more active participants in novelty collector issues during the 2010s. The mulberry tree denomination belongs to a broader wave of themed nature coins produced for the numismatic market rather than circulation, most struck by European contract mints on behalf of African issuing authorities.
KM#92 attribution places this firmly in the collector series rather than any monetary emission.
