| Additional information |
The "4 Africa" denomination was part of a short-lived regional coinage project promoted by the African Financial Community in the early 2000s, intended to circulate alongside the CFA franc as a kind of pan-African symbolic currency. Niger was among the handful of member states that issued pieces under this scheme. The 6000 Francs CFA face value was essentially nominal — these coins saw negligible actual circulation and were largely absorbed by the collector market on issue.
