Cameroon's black rhinoceros coinage sits within a crowded field of African wildlife bullion issues produced by European mints for the collector market — this piece was struck by the Bavarian State Mint in Munich on behalf of the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale. The BEAC arrangement means coins nominally denominated in CFA francs carry legal tender status across six member states, though they are designed entirely for export sale and will never circulate in any of them.
The black rhinoceros itself was declared regionally extinct in Cameroon's western highlands by 2011, the last confirmed individual having been surveyed in the Adamawa Plateau area in 2006.
