The coins were produced almost entirely for the collector market, almost certainly through a third-party mint arrangement common among smaller African nations in the late 1990s who licensed Olympic themes to generate foreign currency revenue.

The KM#Pn1 designation suggests pattern status — possibly never formally released into circulation or sold through standard channels.
