| Additional information |
The "Judith" series from BEAC has drawn persistent collector skepticism — these are legal tender issues of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, but they are produced exclusively for the numismatic export market and have no meaningful circulation history in any of the six member states. The amber insert is sourced to emphasize the region's natural resources as a branding device for the series.
KM#253 is one of several dozen such issues BEAC has licensed to external minting operations over the past decade, a revenue arrangement that has little to do with monetary policy and everything to do with the secondary collector market in Europe and Asia.
