| Additional information |
Burkina Faso issues legal tender coinage under the West African CFA franc system, yet collector pieces like this one are denominated and struck entirely outside that monetary framework — produced by foreign mints on contract and never intended to circulate. The rhino subject has no particular connection to Burkina Faso; white and black rhino populations are confined to eastern and southern Africa, thousands of kilometers away.
KM#132 is part of a paired issue, this piece being the left-facing variant of a two-coin set designed to interlock.
