Looks like the more appropriate question would be whether it is based on the CFA Franc.
Perhaps we should ask about commem, circulating commem or regular circ coin. Or not.
Could be FAO.

There are two different currencies called the CFA franc: the West African CFA franc (ISO 4217 currency code XOF), and the Central Africa CFA franc (ISO 4217 currency code XAF). The West African CFA franc cannot be used in Central African countries, and the Central Africa CFA franc cannot be used in West African countries.

While admittedly I could have worded it better here's a quote Quote:
The CFA franc (in French: franc CFA [f#641;#593;#771; se#603;f#593;], originally Franc of the French Colonies in Africa, recently Franc of the Financial Community of Africa, or colloquially franc) is the name of two currencies, the West African CFA franc, used in eight West African countries, and the Central African CFA franc, used in six Central African countries. Both currencies are guaranteed by the French treasury. Although separate, the two CFA franc currencies have always been at parity and are effectively interchangeable. Modern west African cfa francs are not marked for individual countries, modern central African francs are. It cannot be equatorial guinea |
