| Additional information |
Senegal is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union, meaning it has no independent monetary authority — the BCEAO in Dakar issues currency for all eight member states collectively. Coins like this one are produced under licensing arrangements with private mints, typically Scottsdale Mint or similar contractors, and are legal tender in name only. They are designed and sold entirely for the bullion and novelty collector market, never touching West African commerce.
The 0.5g format places it among the smallest gold issues currently produced anywhere.
