| Additional information |
A 40mm gold coin weighing under 0.15 grams is a physical contradiction that requires explanation: this is a foil-inlay piece, not a struck coin in any conventional sense. The CFA franc is issued under the West African Economic and Monetary Union, with monetary policy controlled by the BCEAO in Dakar — Togo has no independent mint authority and commissions these novelty issues entirely through European private minters, primarily targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
