| Additional information |
Senegal is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, which means its coinage is nominally denominated in CFA francs — a currency controlled by the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest and historically pegged to the French franc, then the euro. This piece has no practical relationship to that monetary system. It belongs to a category of licensed legal-tender issues struck for the collector market by private minting contractors, with the issuing nation receiving a modest licensing fee.
