The weight alone flags this immediately — 100g for a 500 CFA franc coin is roughly twenty times what a standard circulating BEAC issue would weigh. This is a bullion or collector piece, not a circulation coin, issued under the BEAC's periodic commemorative licensing program that allows member states to attach their name to novelty issues largely sold into the European and Asian gift market.
"Nice List" suggests a Christmas-themed series. The BEAC has no particular tradition of such issues; these originate with third-party minting intermediaries who acquire the issuing rights.
