250 Francs CFA Paragliding

Senegal's franc CFA is issued under the West African Economic and Monetary Union, meaning Dakar exercises no independent monetary policy — the currency is managed by the BCEAO and pegged to the euro. These small-format gold pieces are produced for the international collector market, not for BCEAO circulation, exploiting the nominal face value framework of a currency the issuing state does not actually control.
