| Additional information |
The "3 Africa" denomination — 4500 Francs CFA — was issued by IDAC, a private promotional body rather than any central bank or sovereign monetary authority, meaning these pieces circulated nowhere and were legal tender in no jurisdiction. They were sold directly to collectors, positioned as pan-African novelty issues during a period when several such organizations exploited the collector market for African-themed coinage with no genuine monetary backing.
