| Additional information |
Burkina Faso has no rhinoceros population and hasn't for well over a century. The country's wildlife coinage is produced entirely for the collector market under agreements with foreign minting firms — in this case almost certainly the Bavarian State Mint or a comparable European contractor. The CFA franc zone's monetary authority, the BCEAO, issues the circulating coinage; these silver pieces are licensed separately and never enter circulation in West Africa in any meaningful sense.
