| Additional information |
Issued under the BCEAO framework but bearing no relation to the economic functions of the West African CFA franc, this is a collector piece produced for the international numismatic market — not for circulation in any of the eight member states. The BCEAO has issued a wide range of such religious and commemorative types since the early 2000s, leveraging its issuing authority to generate seigniorage revenue from foreign buyers rather than domestic monetary use.
Silver-plated copper rather than solid silver keeps production costs minimal on pieces sold primarily through European and Asian wholesale distributors.
