2000 Francs CFA Civet Coffee

Kopi luwak — coffee processed through the digestive tract of the Asian palm civet — became a commercial phenomenon largely through Western fascination, but civet coffee traditions in parts of Central Africa follow a distinct regional practice that predates the Indonesian export market. The BEAC has increasingly used its collector series to spotlight natural commodities from the franc zone, a strategy that began accelerating after 2015 as member states pushed to diversify economic identity beyond petroleum and timber.

The 62.2g specification places this squarely in the two-troy-ounce format favored for high-relief collector issues.
