| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States issues coinage on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — all bound by the CFA franc, a currency whose fixed peg to the euro traces back to a 1945 Bretton Woods-era arrangement with France. These collector pieces are struck under license by foreign mints, as the BEAC operates no minting facility of its own.
Gold-plated silver issues in this format are typically produced for the European and Asian novelty collector market rather than for circulation within the issuing states.
