| Additional information |
The Falcon of the Plantagenets is a heraldic beast associated with the English royal house descended from Geoffrey of Anjou — a dynasty with no historical connection to Senegal whatsoever. This is a bullion-adjacent collector piece issued under Senegal's membership in the West African Economic and Monetary Union, which grants the CFA franc its legal tender status, a technicality routinely exploited by private minting houses to attach exotic denominations to themed gold wafers with negligible face values.
