| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues currency on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — all sharing the CFA franc under a monetary union whose fixed parity with the euro traces back to the 1948 revaluation of the original franc des colonies françaises d'Afrique. This piece falls squarely within BEAC's long-running numismatic program targeting the collector market, which has no meaningful relationship to the circulating coinage used across those six economies.
The bi-material format, with a gold insert pressed into the silver planchet, was pioneered by the Royal Canadian Mint in the 1990s and has since been widely licensed to smaller issuing authorities.
