Essai of KM#7Interesting fact
The Comoro Islands 10 Francs coin was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Albert Decaris, who is known for his work on various coins and stamps for different countries. Decaris' design for the 10 Francs coin features a portrait of a Comorian woman on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a scene of a dhow (a traditional Arab sailing vessel) sailing through the waters of the Indian Ocean. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
