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 silver ounce (1 oz silver) format, denominated usually as 50 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 the first issue in the Rwandan Nautical Ounce series which features a new reverse design every year; this year's edition commemorates the 525th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, and depicts the Santa Maria - the flagship of his expedition which set sail to find a shorter path from Europe to Asia but discovered a new continent instead. | ||||||
