The Rwandan Franc was introduced as the currency of Rwanda in 1964. Apart from its regular circulating coinage, the country has also authorised some foreign mints to issue coins under its jurisdiction, which come in a variety of sizes - including in the internationally popular gold ounce (1 oz gold) format, denominated usually as 100 Francs. Like any bullion coin though, their actual value is unrelated to the face value, and is based primarily on the metal content and the spot price of that metal on the commodities markets. This coin is part of the Rwandan Nautical Ounce series which features a new reverse design every year, and commemorates the Sedov sailing ship. The Sedov, built as Magdalene Vinnen II 1921 in Kiel, then renamed Kommodore Johnsen 1936, is a quarter-masted steel barque. She now sails under the Russian flag and is one of the largest sailing ships in the world still sailing traditionally. The ship traded hands after the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945 and was renamed to Sedov after the Russian naval officer and polar explorer Sedov (Russian: Георгий Яковлевич Седов, Georgi Yakovlevich Sedov, spelled Georgi Jakowlewitsch Sedow in German). Since 1991 she is owned by the Technical University of Murmansk, and is used as a training vessel for navy officers, and a museum. | ||||||
