| Additional information |
The BCEAO issues collector-oriented commemoratives like this Pisces piece largely for the export numismatic market — they circulate almost nowhere in West Africa and are bought primarily by European and Asian dealers. The issuing authority covers eight francophone nations whose currencies remain pegged to the euro via the French Treasury, an arrangement dating to 1945 that gives the BCEAO limited monetary autonomy but considerable foreign exchange stability.
