100 Francs CFA President Eisenhower

Senegal joined a wave of West African nations issuing ultra-low-weight gold pieces marketed primarily to European and Asian collector markets rather than any domestic circulation purpose. At 0.142 g, the gold content is nominal — the minting cost and premium far exceed the metal value, which is the commercial architecture these issues are built on. Eisenhower's connection to Senegal is negligible; his inclusion reflects a licensing-driven selection process rather than any historical or diplomatic relationship between the two.
