| Additional information |
Cameroon's "Commandment" series occupies a peculiar niche in modern numismatics — small-denomination gold issues struck for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation history. The 14-karat composition is unusual; most sovereign gold coinage targets .900 or .999 fineness, and .585 is more commonly associated with jewelry than minted coin.
