Interesting fact

The Huguenots were a group of French Protestants who fled to South Africa in the 17th century to escape religious persecution. The coin , the 1988 South African Huguenots 1 Ounce Gold Coin, was issued to commemorate the 300th anniversary of their arrival in South Africa. The coin's design features a depiction of a Huguenot family on one side and the South African coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in limited quantities and is considered a collector's item, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
