| Additional information |
The Central African CFA franc is issued under the authority of the BEAC, yet commemorative collector pieces like this one are licensed through private minting arrangements — meaning this coin was never intended to circulate in Brazzaville or anywhere else. The Republic of the Congo's name on the obverse is essentially a licensing agreement with a European mint, a practice that became increasingly common across small African sovereign states from the 1990s onward as a revenue stream.
The Lunar series format behind this issue originates in collector demand driven almost entirely by Asian markets. KM#260 places it within a broader run of such issues from this issuer.
