This is an interesting new type, more or less unnoticed since 2017 until it recently showed up in Numista.
After the aluminum 5 Francs 1984 and 1992 (
KM#15), the
Union of the Comoros released a new small circulation 5 Francs type dated 2017.
This coin shows the design of the larger aluminum type, commemorating the
FAO World Fisheries Conference of 1984 in Rome, but with
new privy marks and the
date in different position.
