| Additional information |
The CFA franc zone has never issued gold coinage through its central monetary authority — these small-format gold pieces are struck by the Monnaie de Paris or private minting houses under licensing arrangements, with the named African state providing nominal issuing authority while retaining none of the production process. The "Unified Nations" branding places this squarely in the collector bullion category, not circulating currency.
At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, the face value of 1500 CFA francs represents a fraction of the metal's spot worth — a legal fiction standard to this format.
