Gabon's CFA franc issues of this period were produced under licensing arrangements that routed minting through European facilities — this type was almost certainly struck at the Monnaie de Paris or a contracted private mint, not within Gabon itself. The country has no domestic minting infrastructure. These collector-oriented silver issues bear no relation to Gabon's actual circulating coinage, which remains tied to the BEAC-administered Central African franc system shared across six member states.
