| Additional information |
Niger's "Fire" series belongs to a wave of micro-gold issues produced for the collector market in the 2010s, struck by European minting houses on behalf of West African franc-zone states whose names lend exotic authority to the packaging. The coins are legal tender in name only — the bullion value alone exceeds any practical transactional use, and they have never circulated.
At 0.5 g of .9999 fine gold, the series sits at the absolute lower boundary of what modern minting technology can produce with consistent planchet integrity.
