| Additional information |
The "Key of Love" belongs to a long-running series of silver issues produced under BEAC authority but clearly aimed at the European gift and novelty coin market rather than any Central African circulation. BEAC member states — Cameroon, Chad, the Central African Republic, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of Congo — carry the nominal issuing authority, though the actual distribution infrastructure for pieces like this runs almost entirely through specialist dealers in France and the Benelux.
The crystal inserts are sourced and set during finishing, not at the striking stage.
