250 Francs Central Bank

The Comoros 250 Francs denomination was introduced as part of a broader coinage reform following the country's monetary realignment within the franc zone. The Banque Centrale des Comores, established after the islands' full independence from France in 1975, has historically issued coinage in limited quantities given the archipelago's small population — roughly 800,000 across three main islands. Bimetallic coinage of this type typically signals an anti-counterfeiting measure for a mid-value circulating coin, a practical concern in island economies where coin replacement cycles are long and informal exchange is common.
