2003




In 2003, we dedicated a set of commemorative coins to the African Fauna in "base metals".

All coins of this program have a reasonably low mintage, only 1,200 pieces of each type !

At this moment, existing denominations are 1.500 CFA ("1 Africa"), 3.000 CFA ("2 Africa") and 6.000 CFA ("4 Africa"). Like commemorative coins issued in several other countries prior to a new system (the "ECU", "Euro", the "Belga" in Belgium in the 1930's, etc.) a double denomination has been used. The "Africa" is a "psychological testing denomination" to invite non-using-CFA countries to join the sub-region currency system creating a new denomination (the "Africa") similar to the "Euro".
