1000 Francs CFA The Union of Earth and Water

Burkina Faso has issued commemorative silver under the CFA franc system since the early 2000s, contracting production almost entirely through European private mints — this piece almost certainly struck by the Monnaie de Paris or a Belgian contractor rather than anything on Burkinabè soil. The country maintains no domestic mint. These issues circulate in name only; the intended market is collector and thematic bullion buyers in Europe and North America.

KM#93 sits in a long run of Burkinabè thematic silvers with limited secondary market depth.
