Description
This 10 CFA Franc coin was issued in 2024 by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC), whose headquarters is featured as the central commemorative motif. The BEAC, headquartered in Yaoundé, Cameroon, serves as the common monetary authority of six member states of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC): Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Chad.
The coin is struck in brass, a metal alloy composed primarily of copper and zinc, recognisable by its characteristic golden hue. This material offers good wear resistance and gives the coin a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from other denominations in circulation within the CFA franc zone.
In terms of dimensions, the coin has a diameter of 22 millimetres and a weight of 4.5 grams, physical characteristics that fall within the standards typically observed for small-denomination coins in the BEAC monetary area.
The face value of 10 CFA francs places this issue in the category of small metallic denominations within the CEMAC zone. The BEAC CFA franc is a currency whose issuance and management are strictly overseen by the governing bodies of the common central bank, thereby ensuring monetary stability among its member states.
