The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC, serving Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — issues numismatic collector pieces well outside the scope of its circulating currency mandate, effectively licensing its monetary authority to private minting operations. This coin is one such piece, struck as a foreign-marketed collectible with no meaningful circulation history in any of the six member states.
NGC 1232 is a grand design spiral galaxy in Eridanus, roughly 60 million light-years distant, first catalogued by William Herschel in 1784.
