| Additional information |
The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC — issues currency across six member nations: Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. This numismatic piece is one of several in a nature-themed series, a format the BEAC has used to generate hard currency revenue independent of the CFA franc's fixed peg to the euro. The lens insert is a cold-enamel or resin dome applied post-strike, a technique that adds significant production cost but commands substantially higher collector premiums in the secondary market.
