| 背面描述 | The central field features an elaborate allegorical composition symbolising agricultural and industrial development: two interlocking cogwheels are surrounded by a profusion of cultivated plants including maize, cotton, millet, and flowering shrubs, evoking the themes of the Operation Bokassa economic programme. The denomination FRANCS 20000 FRANCS is inscribed in bold gothic lettering along the lower arc, while the programme name OPERATION BOKASSA is curved above it in a secondary legend. The mintmark NI (Numismatique Internationale) appears as a small privy mark in the lower right field. |

This coin was struck to commemorate Jean-Bédel Bokassa's seizure of power on January 1, 1966, when he overthrew President David Dacko in a bloodless coup. The four-year lag between the coup and this issue reflects the time it took Bokassa to consolidate enough political authority — and find enough foreign exchange — to commission a prestige gold series at all. France's Monnaie de Paris struck the pieces under contract.
Bokassa would crown himself Emperor eight years later in a ceremony that reportedly cost $30 million, roughly a quarter of the country's annual GDP.
