The "UFO" label here refers to the coin's unconventional lenticular shape — a convex disc form that BEAC began issuing under various themed programs in the 2010s as part of a broader central bank push into the collector novelty market. These issues are struck by private mints on contract and carry BEAC authorization largely as a licensing arrangement; the Central African Economic and Monetary Community member states function as nominal issuers rather than driving the creative or technical decisions.
KM#627 places this within a well-documented run of shaped and themed issues that have attracted scrutiny from numismatic catalogers over attribution consistency.
