| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents the national arms of Burkina Faso at center, featuring two rearing stallions flanking a quartered shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the country name 'BURKINA FASO' and encircled by additional decorative elements. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DU BURKINA FASO' arcs around the upper field, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed below the arms. The date '2017' appears in a recessed rectangular cartouche at lower left, and the fineness mark '1 OZ AG .999' is similarly positioned at lower right. The entire design is struck in antique finish on a flan shaped in the silhouette of an alien bust, with the head and shoulder contour defining the irregular planchet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The BCEAO has issued novelty bullion pieces under the CFA franc denomination since the mid-2010s, licensing pop-culture and historical curiosity themes — UFOs, famous mysteries, conspiracy touchstones — for collector markets in Europe and North America. These have no meaningful circulation history in West Africa and are produced entirely for export sale. The Roswell incident itself, the 1947 crash near Roswell, New Mexico, generated its mythology largely through a 1978 book by Stanton Friedman rather than any contemporaneous public hysteria.
The irregular shaped flan is the primary technical point of interest here.
