Comoros 5 francs 2017 - New circulating type

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.
