Additional information

Western Sahara has no functioning government with recognized minting authority — the territory remains disputed between Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, neither of which issued this coin for circulation. Pieces like this one are produced by private minting houses under a nominal issuing fiction, sold directly to collectors, and never intended to touch an economy. The "Ojo de Ra" framing borrows from Egyptian iconography with no historical connection to the Saharan region whatsoever.
