The "Kiss of Death" is the informal name given to the maneuver used by first responders — and, famously, by competitive free divers — to transfer oxygen mouth-to-mouth underwater. Cameroon has issued an expanding series of silver kilo-adjacents under the CFA franc denomination using this kind of extreme sport and survival theme licensing, produced almost certainly by a European private mint rather than the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale, which has no facility capable of striking collector bullion at this weight.
The 2000 CFA franc face value is purely nominal — spot silver alone vastly exceeds it.
