| Additional information |
The "Dart" in this coin's name refers to its shape — a four-pointed throwing dart — making it part of a broader wave of novelty-format issues produced for the Central African CFA franc zone primarily as collector pieces rather than circulating currency. Cameroon has authorized a substantial number of these shaped and themed issues through third-party minting arrangements, most struck in European facilities rather than on the continent.
Silver-plated aluminium brass at 2.2 grams leaves no ambiguity about intended use.
