Interesting fact

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, depicted on the 10 Francs coin from Burundi, is a famous ancient wonder that has been the subject of much speculation and debate. While its existence has not been definitively proven, some historians believe that it may have been built by the Neo-Babylonian Empire in present-day Iraq around 600 BC. The gardens were said to be a series of terraced gardens supported by a complex system of arches and aqueducts, and were rumored to have been built for the king's wife, who missed the green hills and valleys of her homeland. The coin's design captures the grandeur and beauty of this ancient marvel, making it a unique and interesting addition to any coin collection.
