250 Francs CFA Kick-off in Rome

Senegal is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, whose common currency is issued by the BCEAO — meaning Senegal has no independent mint authority and produces no circulating coinage of its own. These CFA-denominated gold pieces are struck by private minting houses under licensing arrangements, targeting the collector market entirely. The "Kick-off in Rome" designation refers to the 1990 FIFA World Cup opener held at the Stadio Olimpico on June 8th, when Cameroon stunned Argentina 1–0 in one of the tournament's most remembered upsets.
