| Additional information |
Burkina Faso has issued collector coinage through the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States licensing framework since the early 2000s, with pieces like this struck at European mints — almost certainly in Poland or the Czech Republic — bearing the name of a landlocked Sahelian nation that uses none of them domestically. The CFA franc zone prohibits member states from issuing their own circulating coinage; these are purely numismatic exports, monetized through collector markets abroad.
The Smilodon, extinct roughly 10,000 years ago at the close of the Pleistocene, had no presence in Africa — its range was entirely the Americas.
