Informazioni aggiuntive	Niger's independence from France was declared on August 3, 1960, and this issue was struck to mark the occasion — one of several francophone West African nations producing commemorative coinage in that first flush of sovereignty. The .900 silver content mirrors the standard set by the French monetary union Niger had just left, a telling detail about how thoroughly French monetary infrastructure shaped even the celebratory numismatics of the new republic. KM#6 is genuinely scarce in any grade. Mintage figures were low, and few circulated in any meaningful sense.
