The West African CFA franc zone — administered through the BCEAO — has never been a natural environment for collector-oriented issues, so these high-denomination numismatic pieces exist largely for the export bullion and novelty market rather than domestic circulation. The 6500 franc face value is nominal fiction; no consumer economy in Burkina Faso, Mali, or Niger transacts at that denomination.
Silver-plated copper-nickel occupies an awkward tier in modern numismatics — too base for serious precious-metal collectors, too finished to be dismissed as a token.
