1000 Francs CFA Submarine

Burkina Faso has no coastline, no navy, and no submarine program — which is precisely the point. The landlocked Sahelian state issues coins like this under arrangements with the Monnaie de Paris and private minting intermediaries, producing large-format titanium novelties that bear its name purely as a licensing vehicle. The actual 1000 Francs CFA denomination is issued by the BCEAO for everyday commerce in West Africa; these pieces exist in an entirely separate commercial reality, marketed to European collectors.
