| Additional information |
The "Under the Sheets" series from BEAC occupies a peculiar corner of the modern bullion-collector market — legal tender issues from the Central African Economic and Monetary Community that have essentially no connection to everyday commerce in member states like Cameroon, Chad, or the Central African Republic. These coins are produced entirely for the European and Asian collector trade, struck by external mints on contract, and the issuing authority functions here as a licensing body rather than a monetary institution in any practical sense.
The applied color on this piece uses a pad-printing process. Worth noting that KM#522.1 designates the colored variant specifically, with an uncolored sibling in the same series.
