Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10,000 Francs CFA coin from Togo is that it features an image of General Gnassingbe Eyadema, who served as the President of Togo from 1967 until his death in 2005. He was known for his authoritarian rule and his efforts to maintain power, which included amending the constitution to allow him to run for president for life. Despite his controversial legacy, he remains a significant figure in Togolese history, and his image on the coin is a reflection of his impact on the country.
