3000 Francs CFA Lucky Koi

The Bank of Central African States issues collector gold under the BEAC mandate covering six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — none of which have a meaningful cultural connection to koi or the East Asian symbolism the design trades on. These pieces are produced entirely for the international bullion-gift market, with no intended domestic circulation.
