2000 Francs Achilles

Cameroon's modern commemorative program has become a reliable vehicle for privately minted issues produced by European minting houses — primarily B.H. Mayer in Germany — with the issuing authority lending its name under licensing arrangements. The "Achilles" coin belongs to this category: a privately driven collector product using Cameroonian authorization rather than a coin issued from any domestic monetary need or policy decision.

The BEAC, which governs franc currency across the Central African monetary union, has no meaningful role in these releases.
