NEW BI-METALLIC COINS FROM
THE AFRICA
Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, and Niger recently released a series of
low-mintage bimetallic coins. Because the nations are members of
the Central African Monetary Union or the West African Monetary Union,
they issue few coins of their own. Like the Euro coins, they have
a common reverse. The reverse features an elephant head
superimposed on a map of Africa. The
Benin bi-metallic 6000 Francs of 2005 commemorates the 2008 Olympic
games and shows figures participating in various Olympic sports. The
bi-metallic Cameroon 4500 Franc commemorates the Pope Benedict XVI and
has a horrible picture of the new Pope. It has a mintage of 2005
pieces. The Chad 2005 bi-metallic 4500 Francs features a lamb,
cotton, Acacia flowers and a barrel of oil. The Gabon 2005 bi-metallic
4500 Francs commemorates the
nations oil riches by featuring a drop of oil. Due to corruption
and
mismanagement the oil wealth has virtually destroyed the nation's
economy and making its capital Libreville one of the most expensive
cities in the world. The Niger 2005 bimetallic 6000 Francs has a
mintage of only 1200
pieces. Its theme is "Stop Malaria" and features a large
mosquito. All five coins are quite rare. The
4500 Franc coins have a mintage of
only 2005 pieces each, while the 6000 Franc coins have a mintage just
1200 pieces. Just a few individuals control the entire mintage of
the coins, making them hard for collectors to obtain. All
five coins are Uncirculated.
