| Additional information |
This issue commemorates Senegalese independence from France, declared on April 4, 1960, though the coin itself was struck eight years later as part of a broader commemorative program for the francophone African states. Several newly independent West African nations issued gold pieces through the Paris Mint during this period, often in coordinated series — Senegal's output was modest, and the mintage for this type was deliberately limited for collector distribution rather than circulation.
