| Additional information |
Niger has issued a long-running series of small-format gold pieces featuring figures from ancient history, and this Alexander issue falls squarely within that program. These are bullion-adjacent collector pieces with no meaningful circulation history — struck for the international numismatic market, not for use in Niger itself, where the CFA franc governs everyday commerce.
KM#61 at 0.5g of .900 gold sits at the lower threshold of what refiners can strike cleanly at this diameter, which occasionally produces softness in the finer details.
