Pattern of KM# 8.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5000 Francs CFA (General Gnassingbe Eyadema; Pattern) 1977 from Togo made of Aluminium is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Togo. The coin was part of a pattern series issued in 1977 to test new designs and materials for the West African CFA franc, which was the official currency of several West African countries, including Togo, at the time. The coin features a portrait of General Gnassingbe Eyadema, who was the President of Togo from 1967 until his death in 2005, on one side, and a traditional Togolese hut and a palm tree on the other. The coin was never circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
