附加信息	Thylacoleo carnifex, the marsupial lion, had no connection to Senegal or West Africa — it was an Australian apex predator that went extinct roughly 46,000 years ago, likely pressured by the arrival of humans on that continent. This coin exists because the CFA franc zone has become a reliable vehicle for small-format gold bullion issues targeting collectors rather than circulation, with Senegal's name appearing on dozens of such pieces bearing subjects from global natural history.
