Description
The Rwandan Wildlife Series was first introduced in 2008 to celebrate the various native species of the African continent. The program launched with a celebration of the continent’s largest mammal, the elephant, and now turns its attention to one of the continent’s smallest inhabitants.
On the obverse side of the coin you’ll find some of the common design motifs of the series, along with the latest animal design. An outline of the continent of Africa dominates the right face, while a meerkat family is featured in the lower left. Engravings around the outside rim include “African Ounce” and “1 oz Fine Silver 999 2016.”
The reverse side of the coin bears the official seal of the nation of Rwanda, with all engravings on this face inscribed in a native tribal tongue spoken in the region for centuries. The face value of 50 Francs is supported by the Central Bank of Rwanda.
All Rwandan Wildlife Series coins are struck in Germany by the BH Mayer mint facility of Kunstprageanstalt Gmbh in Munich, in the state of Bavaria. These coins are often struck in relatively low mintages.
