| Additional information |
Issued under a West African CFA franc authority as a licensing arrangement with Mennica Polska, this is a privately commissioned legal-tender novelty — the kind of piece minted in Warsaw for a nominal African issuer whose monetary authorities have no practical role in the coin's design, distribution, or market. Poland has become one of the more prolific producers of this genre, supplying collector-market "legal tender" issues to small sovereign licensees across Africa and the Pacific.
The 17.5g weight is non-standard for the series, chosen to hit a price point rather than conform to any minting tradition.
