Overview

A bi-metallic circulation coin featuring a floral and agricultural motif on the obverse and value on the reverse.

Historical significance

A standard circulating currency used by the members of the CEMAC (Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa), which includes Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.

Obverse (front)

A collection of tropical flowers and products (cacao, coffee, etc.). Above is the denomination '100 FRANCS' and 'CEMAC'. Below is the year '2006' flanked by mint marks.

Reverse (back)

Large '100 FCFA' in the center of a beaded circle. Outer ring inscribed with 'BANQUE DES ÉTATS DE L'AFRIQUE CENTRALE'.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $2.00 in average circulated condition; up to $5.00 in Uncirculated (MS) condition

What drives this coin's value

Most value is derived from the exchange rate or as a curiosity for collectors; high-grade Mint State examples carry a small premium.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (XF) - Shows light circulation wear on high points but retains most design detail and some original luster.

Mintage & rarity

Common; mintage is typically in the tens of millions for circulation requirements.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for crisp lettering and the magnetic property of the center (stainless steel). Counterfeits often have poor detail in the floral pattern.

Notable varieties & errors

No major recognized varieties for this specific year.

Similar coins

100 Francs from the West African States (BCEAO), which is also bi-metallic but features a sawfish emblem.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning or polishing as it removes the original mint luster and lowers numismatic value. Store in a dry environment in a PVC-free holder to prevent oxidation of the brass ring.
