The BEAC issues commemorative coinage on behalf of its six member states — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo — under a monetary union framework established in 1972. These issues are produced almost exclusively for the collector export market; CFA franc commemoratives of this type have essentially no circulation history within the issuing territories themselves.
