<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 808798, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t think that alpha mark was added &quot;accidentally&quot;. Here is such a piece from Djibouti for example: <a href="http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/55595602/250-Francs-Djibouti-2002-Argent-Dromadaires-Sagaies-Numismatique.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/55595602/250-Francs-Djibouti-2002-Argent-Dromadaires-Sagaies-Numismatique.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/55595602/250-Francs-Djibouti-2002-Argent-Dromadaires-Sagaies-Numismatique.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I do not collect such coins so I cannot tell what would be a realistic price. I briefly checked some of them in the Schön catalog, and that lists a price of €80 per issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Edit) Just looked them up; these are the face values:</p><p><br /></p><p>Central Africa (CFA) 1000 francs</p><p>Comores 1000 francs</p><p>Djibouti 250 francs</p><p>French Polynesia 200 francs</p><p>Guinea 2000 francs</p><p>Rwanda 500 francs</p><p>West Africa (CFA) 1000 francs</p><p><br /></p><p>Each of these is a silver piece with a diameter of 37 mm (which corresponds to the French €1.50 collector coins). Each has a mintage of 500; they were made in France (Monnaie de Paris). The common theme, so to say, was franc coins in the world after the euro cash launch in France. Note that the logo on the French coins is what you mentioned (alpha sign and 2002 combined) while the pieces listed here all have a logo that combines the Alpha/2002 and the Stars of Europe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
