| 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 — under a monetary union whose franc zone arrangement dates to the post-colonial reorganization of 1972. The "V" suffix marks this as the fifth release in a continuing tiger hunt series, a subject with no geographic connection to Central Africa whatsoever; the series targets the East Asian collector market, where demand for high-relief wildlife silver has driven numerous African monetary authorities to produce coins that will never circulate within their issuing territories.
