| Additional information |
The BEAC issues coins that circulate across six member states — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of the Congo — but this piece was never intended for commerce. It belongs to a collector series produced under licensing arrangements common among smaller monetary unions that use numismatic programs to generate hard currency revenue, effectively selling the prestige of statehood to foreign coin buyers. The "Cairo night stone" insert is meteoritic material, sourced from the Egyptian desert strewnfield.
